Today’s Boulder’s Dogs of the Day are two stunning pups who could easily win a photo contest just by being themselves — Rocco and Ellie. These two look so much alike that most people would assume they’re brother and sister, and after seeing this picture, it’s easy to see why. They share the same bright eyes, that golden tone of fur that shines under the Colorado sun, and a natural bond that captures the heart.

In this epic shot, Ellie proudly holds her favorite stick — her treasure — right in her mouth. She’s got that confident pose, staring straight into the camera as if to say, “This is my moment.” Ellie radiates joy, energy, and that unmistakable Boulder spirit — playful, curious, and always ready for the next adventure. She’s the kind of dog who turns every walk into an exploration and every stick into a prize.

Rocco, on the other hand, has that classic calm energy. He lets Ellie take the spotlight but stands close by, loyal and steady, the yin to her yang. Together, they’re the perfect Boulder duo — a balance of energy and ease, fun and friendship. Watching them side by side, you can almost hear the rhythm of Boulder’s heartbeat — joyful, grounded, and full of love.

Boulder is, after all, one of the most dog-friendly places in the country. You’ll see dogs like Rocco and Ellie running through Boulder’s off-leash dog parks, cooling off along Boulder Creek, or joining their humans for hikes at Chautauqua and beyond. The city’s commitment to outdoor life — and its dog-friendly trail rules — make it a true haven for four-legged adventurers.

Here’s to Rocco and Ellie, two incredible dogs who remind us that life’s best moments often come with muddy paws and happy faces. Their bond and spirit capture everything we love about Boulder — fun, friendship, and freedom.
