TAKE MARCUS
FOR A WALK
Marcus (Mark to his friends) was born on January
9th, 2009. His calm demeanor and friendly nature not
only make him a wonderful companion dog, but these
qualities were also exactly what the Canadian Guide
Dogs for the Blind were looking for in a “seeing eye
dog.” Unfortunately, Mark was a little too friendly and
a little too interested in the world around him and did
not quite make the grade. As a second career option,
Marcus accepted his current position as Director of Pet
Relations, at The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. What
a sweet gig!
LIKES:
Everything, especially fetch! Like all Labrador
Retrievers, Marcus loves to play fetch. His boundless
energy will wear out even the most seasoned
throwing arm. On returning to his playmate, Mark
will toss the toy back or drop it at his friend’s feet for
the next throw.
DISLIKES:
We haven’t come across anything yet that Mark
doesn’t like - cats, dogs, rabbits, kids, old folks, hiking,
sleeping, swimming, Mark loves it all!
HIKES:
Mark truly enjoys a leisurely stroll along the lakeside.
He enjoys a brisk walk, especially in the cool of the
morning. After almost 2 years of being trained to walk
on a leash, Marcus rarely gets up to jogging speed while
on leash.
Please contact the Concierge to sign up to walk Marcus
on weekdays.
