Pub-Lick Relations Expert of the Month:

Meet Bandit, the 9-year-old Chihuahua + Pug mix pup of Katelynn Santiago!


When Katelynn was a sophomore in college and missed her family dog, she knew she needed to head to the local animal shelter during free adoption weekend. Katelynn noticed one dog in particular that was calm in the kennels. He came up to her, sniffed her hand then went and laid back down. Katelynn was immediately sold, and the rest is history! Bandit, also called mister man or nugget, has continued to be a laid-back pup – enjoying naps in the sun and the occasional snack of a strawberry or peach. He loves to spend time outdoors and go for walks, so much so that he may even get the spins out of excitement! It is safe to say Bandit has been the best addition to Katelynn's life.
