For those of you who live in Utah, and have a dog, you’ve more than likely heard of Brandy. And if not Brandy, most definitely her dog, Scout. They’re the dynamic duo behind the IG page @DogFriendlySLC and website Dog Friendly SLC where you can learn about all things Dog Friendly in Utah. From the best dog-friendly bars to dog-friendly pumpkin patches, she covers it all!

I don’t know if it was because I had already been following them for some time on social media, but when I finally met them IRL (in real life, for people my age) it felt like I was meeting up with an old friend. Brandy is warm and friendly and so easy to talk to. Naturally, I was instantly smitten with her boy, Scout.
We shot Scout’s photos for the Salty Dogs Book where he debuted as a private eye (you can snag your copy here) and then headed outside where my little human proceeded to fall in love with Scout himself and they played fetch together.

We had a chance to talk while they played and it came up that she was involved with the non-profit organization Make-A-Wish. I’d heard of it but realized I really didn’t know much about it at all. So I had a question…or 7 for Brandy. She was gracious enough to meet me at Utah’s location and tell me more about it.
