Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Minna and the Canine Club’s blog! We are so glad you are here.
We believe that every child is a hero, and it is our hope is that our blog posts about our favorite dog characters (Minna, Blue, Maggie, and Clancy) will inspire kids and adults alike to be the best they can be.

As Minna and the Canine Club would say, “Tails up, it’s time for an adventure!”
