Meet Fenway & Hattie
Fenway
Name: Fenway
Nicknames: When he’s in trouble, Fenway’s humans call him FEN-Way, but when he’s about to get a treat? It’s Fenn-waay— and it’s one of his favorite sounds in the world.
Breed: He is a Jack Russell Terrier, a smaller dog with brown and white fur.
Home: Fenway lives in the city, but something’s about to change… a move to the suburbs!
Family: Fetch Man and Food Lady, along with their daughter, Hattie.
Personality: The moment he recognizes that Hattie is upset, Fenway jumps to try and cheer her up. Fenway is a very observant pup—he can pick up on a change in people’s voices and knows when something is wrong. He’s protective, both of his family and of his home, willing to take on threats so much bigger than himself.
Likes: As a little dog with a big heart, Fenway loves his family, especially Hattie. His favorite activity is to participate in his and Hattie’s snuggle game. Fenway adores time at the park, because the park means he can chase his toys to his heart’s content. He likes the smell of vanilla and mint, because that’s Hattie’s smell and Fenway takes comfort in it. Also, if he could have snacks all the time? You’d never catch Fenway turning down treats.
Dislikes: Fenway doesn’t care for change—he doesn’t understand why the mat, the muddy boots, and the fake flowers are missing from outside of the apartment. He doesn’t like the big men who come in and start taking packages out of the house. Most of all, though, Fenway can’t stand when he’s contained by the Gate; trying to jump over it makes his legs tired, and he doesn’t like that, either.
Hattie
Name: Hattie
Appearance: She is a young girl, still in elementary school, with bushy hair.
Family: She has her father, who Fenway calls Fetch Man, and her mother, who Fenway refers to as Food Lady.
Challenge: At the start of Fenway and Hattie, Hattie and company pack everything up to move to a new home. It’s quite the adjustment, moving from the city to a quiet, suburban area, but with support from her parents and from Fenway, surely things will work out just fine.
Friends: Hattie’s dog, Fenway, is her bestest, furriest friend - he’s fiercely protective and loyal, which are the greatest things a canine pal can be! In terms of two-legged friends, Hattie has just met her new neighbor, Angel, who is quiet and a little shy. She and Hattie still have tons of fun playing together in Hattie’s treehouse.
Likes: Besides Fenway, Hattie really adores her used-to-be-bear, who she holds onto when she’s scared. She often sings to Fenway, cooing “best buddies” in a number of ways.
Hobbies: Hattie loves to spend time with Fenway and usually that means she’s playing ball and chase. Usually, Hattie takes Fenway to the park, but now, she’s got a whole backyard they can play in! Now, Hattie even has her very own tree to climb.
