Pet: Sydney Atkinson
Owner: Rick & Joan Atkinson
Syd is a snuggly, twelve-year-old Golden Doodle, loved by her pet-parents Rick and Joan Atkinson.
Joan was lucky enough to receive Syd as a surprise birthday gift from her husband, and she has been a great joy to them both ever since!
Syd was born and raised in Pennsylvania and moved with her parents to New Bern four years ago.
When she was a younger pup, she used to like playing frisbee, but these days she still does a dance for her carrot treat, giving six high fives alternating between paws.
Syd was named after her owner’s favorite hockey player, Sydney Crosby. She is also a Pittsburgh Steeler fan, showing off her football collar and is often stopped by other football fans to say hello.
“Syd paved the way of meeting new friends and neighbors,” says Joan. “She enjoys her walks in the Greenbrier Development, getting loved on by all. Syd makes us smile every day and is always there by our side with her love and devotion.”
