Given a good home with two loving young girls, Patsy Ann was much more interested in wandering through the hustle and bustle of Juneau’s port. Follow this canine free spirit as she makes her way from tethered pet to official town greeter at the docks, meeting every ship making a port of call. You’ll fall in love!
Patsy Ann was a real dog in Juneau’s history. During her long life, she met every ship that came into port for the entire decade of the 1930s.
