Meet the Real Life Mac

Say hello to Mac - the real-life dog the story is about

Mac is a five-year-old Border Collie who is the perfect mix of high-energy athlete and devoted friend. He stays busy with his two favorite things: staying active on walks and being a loyal companion to his dad while fishing. Mac is as smart as he is sweet, and he truly shines when the day winds down; he’s a professional at giving bedtime kisses to let his family know he cares. He might be a champion in the making, but at the end of the day, he’s just a happy pup who loves his family and his prized stuffed manatee.
