Minnie Pearl, a Bull Terrier, was adopted from a shelter in San Diego. The first time her owners Edna and Richard took her to the beach and let her loose, she raced as fast as she could down to the water and jumped right in. She’ll play ball all day long if you’re willing to throw for her. Now she has moved to Idaho where she loves the snow as much as she loves sea water. Because she’s white, she’s pretty hard to see out there while leaping through the snowdrifts!

She is named after Minnie Pearl, a comedian who appeared on the country TV show “Hee Haw” for many years. She is also named Pearl because she is white– the same color as a real pearl.
