Doodle is a surf doxie - cruising the streets for the Cherry Festival parade in The Dalles, Oregon (Columbia River Gorge is cherry central.). It's a dog's eye view of an old school small town - and a few thousand bff kids.

Wait for it.... an amazing thing happened along the way... we brake for basset hounds - dound one in the parade ... Doodle is still pining for his basset brother we loved and lost to old age.
