Skipper the Dog

Meet Skipper, Dan the Gardener’s loyal dog and Jake’s best friend in Three Little Woods. With his wagging tail, muddy paws, and endless curiosity, Skipper loves exploring nature,  chasing butterflies, sniffing out trails, and helping Dan plant flowers (even if he sometimes digs in the wrong place!).

But Skipper isn’t just a helper, he’s the heart of the gardening team. Always ready with a friendly bark or a comforting nudge, he brings smiles to everyone he meets, from Nan Fran in her kitchen to Jennifer Pickles and her class after a busy school day. Wherever he goes, Skipper spreads warmth, laughter, and a love for the outdoors.

Riding up front in Dan’s Eco Van,  ears flapping in the breeze, Skipper is ready for any eco-friendly adventure across Three Little Woods. Loyal, playful, and full of heart, he reminds us that friendship, kindness, and caring for nature make every day a new adventure.

🐶 Did you know?
Dogs can only see in black and white, though that doesn’t stop Skipper from spotting every butterfly!

And here’s a clever fact: the idea for Velcro was inspired by the tiny burrs that stick to dogs’ fur after a woodland walk.

His motto: “Every path is an adventure when you’ve got muddy paws.”
