Pippin Jack Flash is Oregon Lakes and Rivers' golden-on-the-go. He's particularly fond of all things water, belly rubs, and chewy treats that smell strongly of bacon. He's an expert smeller of things, and he enjoys long naps after his runabouts. He's also quite willing to take up a generous portion of any nearby couch and particularly likes to rest his head in the warmth of someone's lap. The Dog Blog
