Folks walking around downtown Miami Lakes may encounter this gentle pair: Cookie, a 6-year-old Great Dane, and Libby, a 7-year-old Victorian Bulldog.
The girls love their walks and will roam Main Street in search of pats on the head and food on the ground, said owner Martha Valdes.
The pets live with her and husband Michael Jorge, stepdaughter Leah Jorge, 6, and son Gavin Grimes, 15.
Though she is the shorter dog, Libby has a big appetite. She’ll sneak beneath Cookie to steal food from the Great Dane’s bowl, Valdes said.
Despite being a tall dog, Cookie is afraid of thunderstorms. She is brave when it comes to squirrels, though, and will try to sneak up on those she sees scampering in the green spaces around town.
Luckily for them, they see her coming and escape, Valdes said.
