Harlow & Sage
What started as an account to document the relationship between a Miniature Dachshund (Sage) and a Weimaraner (Harlow) soon gained a huge following as Harlow mourned the loss of her friend Sage in 2013, and began “interviewing” potential new friends. Now joined by Indiana, Reese, and most recently, Ezra, Harlow uses her platform (with the help of her owners) to highlight the work of animal shelters and homeless pets.

She first starting standing on things when she accompanied her owner, photographer Theron Humphrey, on a trip across the country. Now she has a book that shows her balancing on jars and standing on a skateboard. You can also find Maddie on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
