Gitzo is the laziest dog you’ll ever meet. Even tasks that don’t require much energy, like modeling for a photo shoot, put her right to sleep. The one thing that will interrupt her slumber is the sound of the lid coming off the peanut butter jar, which sounds like no other lid coming off any other kind of jar. It will bring her out of the deepest sleep and into the kitchen before she realizes she’s there.

Although remarkably lethargic, she does have a part-time job pre-washing the dinner plates every evening before they go into the dishwasher. Her other part-time job has been assisting Karin with project management and publicity for the Dog Island Project. So far, her contributions have consisted of glancing briefly at social-media posts, nodding approval, and rolling over to resume her snooze.

But she is not completely devoid of ambition. Gitzo’s life goal is to bark at least once at every dog on Guemes Island. She has compiled a list and is slowly working her way through it. So, if she hasn't barked at your dog yet, be patient; she will get to him or her eventually. Right after her nap.
