Not unlike acclaimed advice columnists like Dear Abby and Ann Landers, Maxine is a rambunctious golden retriever who relates to dogs of all breeds, shapes and sizes. Her prowess as a master shoe-eater has inspired a new generation of sneaky dogs. Maxine lives with her parents Cathy and Kevin, owners of Maxline Brewing in Fort Collins, Colorado

Dear Maxine: With the weather finally feeling like summer, I’m ready to get outdoors with my hooman. What are your favorite hikes in your neck of the woods?

Dear Joplin: 
Any relation to the late and great Janis Joplin? Anyhow, my pawrents’ favorite hike in Fort Collins is Greyrock. It’s about 30 minutes outside of town. This hike will take you through the Poudre Canyon with a bit of rock scrambling to get to the top (super fun for us pups) and has magnificent Fort Collins views. ?
