Meet Layla, a 2 year old black goldendoodle that lives in Rosslyn and is this week’s Pet of the Week.
Here is what Layla wanted to tell us about her life here in Arlington:
My name is Layla, and I am a [not so golden] black goldendoodle living in Rosslyn! I have only been roaming this earth for two years, but my mom has taken me on all of her adventures from Amman, Jordan to Arlington, Virginia. In Jordan, I assisted my mom in organizing English classes and after school sports programs for Syrian refugee girls. When duty called, it was my honor to interact with the students and be a calming and therapeutic presence. After a year and a half, I moved to Arlington to help my mom with her international security degree at the Schar School of Policy and Government.
Living in such a dog friendly city makes it easy for my mom to bring me everywhere. Barley Mac is my favorite restaurant, and when my mom and I walk by, I am always ready to walk onto the patio for a quick bite to eat. While taking our walks around Rosslyn, we cover the US Marine Corps War Memorial, Dark Star Park, and many people who smile as I pass by. Finding my place in the United States has been easy in Arlington where I feel so welcomed every day!
