this black & white dog was waiting for his people who had found a shady spot; secured their bikes to a tree; secured the dog, but what impressed me... there was a bowl of water for him! It was a nice day.. hope he enjoyed all the people going by.. we enjoyed saying 'hi' to him!

One of many stately homes on the island. The only motorized transportation, we were told, is for fire and police. Even UPS is delivered by horse drawn flatbed.
Mackinac Island HIstory:
" A Historic Treasure Preserved
Perhaps the most noticeable first impression visitors get of Mackinac Island is the absence of automobiles! Visitors and residents travel by foot, bicycle or horse drawn carriage. This tempo is more comparable to the 19th century. Tour carriages and taxis will take you wherever you want to go and it's not long before you adjust to a slower pace most visitors have never known.
With over 80% of Mackinac Island in public hands you would expect little development and, fortunately, that's true. Concerned with the disappearance of America's finest natural treasures, Congress took steps in the early 1870s to ensure that some of these treasures would be preserved for posterity. In 1872 the federal government designated Yellowstone America's first national park. In 1875 portions of federal land on popular Mackinac Island were given similar protection."
If you can identify this, please do!
