On Aug. 26, The Venue hosted the National Dog Day. There were treats for the pooches and their owners, as well as pop-up store and services from @fetch- guam and @pooh_hsu. Scuba, left, and Denver, right, love photo ops. “Denver is half- dog half-bear. I call him half-bear because he is too big. Scuba is… I don’t know,” their human-daddy, Julius Sotomayor, says in jest. It doesn’t matter to him what breed they are—they are simply a pair of love and joy. Sotomayor adopted Scuba from GAIN about four years ago. Denver came along serendipitously two years later. His previous owner had to leave Guam and was unable to take him along. “When I went to Denver’s owner’s going away BBQ, I saw Denver and asked her, ‘Are you taking Denver with you?’ She said, ’No. YOU’RE taking Denver!’ I had to make a decision in a matter of seconds, to assess if it’s something I can do. I said, ‘OK!’ Scuba and Denver get along well. “Scuba is the type of student who thinks she’s so smart and likes pleasing others especially the teacher while Denver doesn’t care about grades but is effortlessly charming, nonetheless,” Sotomayor says.
