Max and Fiona on vacation in the Eastern Townships - Episode 1

 

Places like Au Diable Vert, in Glen Sutton. Upon arrival, the two dogs have only one thing in mind: To chase each other along the numerous trails that weave through the property. Some run along cliffs while others follow babbling brooks that prove irresistible to four-legged friends. There are even frogs and turtles! Max and Fiona take a breather in a grassy field before taking off again. Their frolicking comes to an abrupt halt when they come face-to-face with peacefully grazing Highland cows. Yikes!

When they arrive at VéloVolant, a peculiar place where people pedal atop the forest canopy, the pups can’t help but be a little disappointed that they can’t take part in the fun. Sorry, doggies! This activity, which is the first of its kind is Canada, is for humans only. Thankfully, there’s so much more discover. Fiona runs off while Max tries his best to keep up. They follow the Missisquoi River and come across swimmers, kayakers and fisherman.

Without hesitation, the canine besties dive in and cool off, enjoying the perfect ending to a perfect day.
