Agnes is not your ordinary dog. A German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) with a boundless enthusiasm for life and a friend to all, Agnes has made a name for herself in Boulder—and not just on the ground. Her antics have skyrocketed to local fame (quite literally), as Agnes has taken her social skills to new heights—tree heights, to be exact.

It all began on a typical walk through the northeast corner of Boulder. As usual, Agnes was greeting everyone in sight: dogs, cats, ducks, deer, even humans. But then came the moment that would set her apart from any other dog in town—Agnes kissed a squirrel.

Yes, you read that right. A real kiss. Long enough for Agnes’ human, the amused (and slightly stunned) onlooker, to snap a photo. From that moment, Agnes was hooked. It wasn’t just a kiss; it was the start of an incredible friendship.

Agnes decided that if she truly wanted to connect with her new squirrel friends, she would need to become one of them. And so, she started climbing.

At first, it was just one tree. Then another. Then another. Before long, Agnes was scaling trees all over Boulder, hanging out with the squirrels as if she’d been one all along. It wasn’t long before the neighborhood squirrels took notice, and to everyone’s amazement, they welcomed her into their troop.

Now, with over three dozen trees climbed and hundreds of ascents under her belt (or collar), Agnes has solidified her place as an honorary squirrel of Boulder. Whether she’s perched on a branch, peering down at her adoring fans, or chasing tails (literally) through the treetops, Agnes is a sight to behold.
