Vancouver Is Awesome, and we are dedicated to everything that makes it that way.

If you want to read ugly, bad news about this beautiful city of ours, you’re going to have to look to traditional media and other blogs; V.I.A. promotes everything that makes our city awesome, from old to new and everything inbetween.

Dogtown Vancouver: Gus

January 9, 2013

It’s a new dog once a week! Click here to find out how to get your dog posted if you haven’t sent in your photos yet!

Today’s dog featured in Dogtown Vancouver is Gus, Darren L’s pup. Here’s what he had to say about him…

NAME: Gus.
BREED: Boston Terrier.
HOOD: Mount Pleasant.
FAVOURITE SNACK: Leaves, yes…leaves…that’s all, unless they’re covered in peanut butter which is kinda weird.
OTHER INFO: Gus is high-energy, all the time. He’s only 10 months old but I’m convinced when he was neutered, the vet implanted a couple extra pairs rather than taking his out.

Dogtown Vancouver: Lumi

January 2, 2013

It’s a new dog once a week! Click here to find out how to get your dog posted if you haven’t sent in your photos yet!

Today’s dog featured in Dogtown Vancouver is Lumi, Alessa H’s pup. Here’s what she had to say about her…

NAME: Lumi.
BREED: American Eskimo (toy size).
HOOD: Oakridge.
FAVOURITE SNACK: Pigs Ears (gross!)
OTHER INFO: Lumi is still a puppy but her birthday is rapidly approaching, she will be 1 on Halloween. She is completely unaware of how small and fluffy she is and loves running around, wrestling with other dogs and chewing anything insight.

Dogtown Vancouver: Buster

December 26, 2012

It’s a new dog once a week! Click here to find out how to get your dog posted if you haven’t sent in your photos yet!

Today’s dog featured in Dogtown Vancouver is Buster, Trish W’s pup. Here’s what she had to say about him…

NAME: Buster.
BREED: Portuguese Water Dawg.
HOOD: Furry Creek but comes to work every day in Gastown with me.
FAVOURITE SNACK: His Favourite snack is Poo but he also likes carrots, cookies of any description. He’s a skilled counter surfer and usually is pleased with whatever he finds there, like apple pie, turkey, dough – you name it, he’s eaten it. Oh right! His guilty pleasure food seems to be new bars of Ivory soap.
OTHER INFO: He’s our own little “worst in show” – I’m developing a dog show around him. He’s the product of two champions but managed to come out with a coat that’s a mixture of curly/wavy, black/brown/grey and teeth that look like they need braces – made worse when he leapt from the car to chase a golf cart (we weren’t going fast, fortunately, and he now wears a seat belt at all times). He lost what would have grown into the signature beautiful long PWD tail in a Gastown parkade door (I relive the horror of that accident every day even though it happened over 4 years ago). He’s an “unholy mess” of a dog and I love every thing about him.

Dogtown Vancouver: Mr. Fox

December 19, 2012

It’s a new dog once a week! Click here to find out how to get your dog posted if you haven’t sent in your photos yet!

Today’s dog featured in Dogtown Vancouver is Mr. Fox, Johanna P’s pup. Here’s what she had to say about him…

NAME: Mr. Fox.
BREED: Pomeranian mix (maybe with papillon?)
HOOD: Mt Pleasant.
FAVOURITE SNACK: Australian sharp cheddar.
OTHER INFO: Mr. Fox is a 3.5 year old pom mix who loves to cuddle with his family. He’s happiest when he has all his favourite people together in one place. Charmer of staunch cat lovers and big dog lovers. General all around day-brightener and heart warmer.

Dogtown Vancouver: Holly

December 12, 2012

It’s a new dog once a week! Click here to find out how to get your dog posted if you haven’t sent in your photos yet!

Today’s dog featured in Dogtown Vancouver is Holly, Rachael L’s pup. Here’s what she had to say about her…

NAME: Holly.
BREED: English Cocker Spaniel.
HOOD: North Vancouver.
FAVOURITE SNACK: Freeze dried beef liver.
OTHER INFO: Holly is almost 2 and spends her days romping around the office as the official mascot, a job at which she excels. Although Holly might not be the smartest dog, but she makes up for it with cuteness! She loves the water and sneaks into the fountain outside the N. Van city library whenever she has a chance. She can be a bit shy when you first meet but with a little time she’ll be greeting you with a big bouncy puppy hug.
