Today’s featured dogs are more than just adorable—they’re a pair of true Boulder legends. Meet King and Luke, two older pups and lifelong friends who’ve mastered the art of enjoying life one tail wag at a time.
Whether they’re lounging on the back porch or kicking back on the boat, these two are all about good vibes, soft spots to nap, and enjoying the world around them. “We’ve put in our time chasing balls and running trails,” says Luke with a grin. “Now it’s about soaking in the views and staying close to our people.” King, ever the laid-back philosopher, adds, “Give me a good breeze and a belly rub, and I’m set.”
Over the years, King and Luke have explored the best of Boulder—from paddleboard meetups at the Reservoir to off-leash strolls along the Boulder Creek Path. They’ve greeted strangers like old friends on Pearl Street and probably sampled more dog treats from local pet shops than they’d admit.
These days, they prefer the peace that comes with experience. “We’ve seen this town grow, met every type of dog, and sniffed every trail worth sniffing,” Luke says. “But what makes Boulder special isn’t just the places—it’s the people, the paws, and the unspoken understanding that this is a place where dogs truly belong.”
And that’s what makes King and Luke the perfect ambassadors of the Boulder dog lifestyle. They remind us that it’s not about how far you go—it’s about who’s by your side. Whether it’s a quiet moment under the sky or a playful bark at a passing squirrel, these two best friends have found joy in simply being.
Here’s to King and Luke—Boulder’s coolest canine companions, showing us that friendship, fresh air, and a good spot to rest are the real keys to a happy life.
