The Prirates Life for Me!



The Tall Ships are coming to Tacoma, WA.
July 3rd - July 07/08


Did you ever want to dress up like a pirate? You know you want to bellow out a hearty yo ho ho! The Tacoma Tall Ships Festival Volunteers were looking for a good pirate dog for their commercial about the event and LO! Scupper P. DogHeart was selected.
He was a brave little puppy at the photo shoot, where he met lots of children and adults and film crew. There was a mom, dad, three children and Scupper. Everyone was dressed as a pirate (except for the film crew) Scupper was filmed last, all he had to do was don his devilish eye patch and run out the front door to the awaiting van, to join his 'family'. We accomplished this 'action' shot with treats and the clicker training helped a lot. He did just great and he only needed 3 'takes'.
I was amazed at how well he took all of this as he is only 5 months old!
After wards we got to take photos of ourselves from this fabulous house on the water. Behind us is the Tacoma Narrows Bridge one of the larges suspension bridges in the world.
The views were spectacular and it was lovely day warm and sunny. If you want to step aboard with us this summer we have some extra eye patches, and a wooden leg full of rum, and we will have you yo ho hoeing all the way to the docks.
