More: Ernie is an adventurous pup. He was rescued by his mom who is a charter boat captain in Key West, FL. Ernie is a great first mate although he occasionally gets caught taking naps at the helm. He loves boating, swimming in the salty Gulf waters, running on sandbars, fishing, and exploring uninhabited mangrove islands in the backcountry. Oh and snacking...Ernie loves to eat!
