Delia, today’s Boulder’s Dog of the Day, captures everything that makes Boulder, Colorado, one of the happiest places on earth—for both humans and their four-legged friends. With her playful energy, bright eyes, and mountain-ready spirit, Delia fits right in among Boulder’s famous canine culture. Here, dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family members, adventure partners, and trail companions.

In Boulder, it’s said that one out of every three residents owns a dog, and anyone who’s walked along Pearl Street Mall on noon can see why.

Whether you’re exploring Chautauqua Park or strolling around Boulder Creek, you’ll see locals and their dogs side by side, living the active, outdoor lifestyle that defines this town.

Delia’s favorite playmate, Bo, is another local legend—a reminder that Boulder’s dog culture is built on companionship. The two love to romp through open fields and along the creek, embodying the city’s spirit of freedom and connection to nature. Dogs like Delia and Bo remind Boulderites why they live here: clean mountain air, endless trails, and a community that values well-being and outdoor adventure.

It’s not uncommon to spot hikers with their pups scaling the Flatirons, runners jogging along the Boulder Reservoir, or even paddleboarders sharing a ride with their furry co-pilot. Boulder’s open spaces are designed to welcome dogs, and its residents treat their pets as essential partners in exploration. With hundreds of miles of trails, off-leash dog parks, and countless pet-friendly businesses, Boulder has become a model city for dog lovers everywhere.

Delia’s joyful presence is a reflection of what makes Boulder so special—a place where kindness, nature, and connection thrive.
