Tucker, the Alameda/Oakland Ferry Celebrity Dog

 PROFESSION: The Minister of Napping at the Design Bunch, an advertising/graphic design firm in San Francisco

FERRY COMMUTER: You bet...daily for the last 9 years on the Alameda/Oakland ferry.

PEOPLE WOULD BE SURPRISED IF THEY KNEW: I don’t eat homework and I all buy all my dog paraphernalia at Fleadricks of Hollywood.

IF I HAD A FREE DAY, I’D SPEND IT: with my buddies Daisy and Hobo at Crissy Field Beach.

MY PROUDEST MOMENT WAS:. Having my picture taken riding the A/O ferry and having it appear on one of those wonderful dog portraits painted by my guardian artist John Hardgrove, who can be reached at his San Francisco studio at 415-434-2989. Call him!

HOW I WOULD LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED: Having my likeness appear on one of those wonderful dog portraits painted by my guardian artist John Hardgrove, who can be reached at his San Francisco studio at 415-434-2989.

MY MOTTO: So many trees, so little time.

HOBBIES: Doing the Marine belly crawl on the upper deck.

PET PEEVE: Dog breath.

FAVORITE AUTHOR: Charles "Sparky" Schulz

FAVORITE FILM: A Dog Day Afternoon

IF I COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT MYSELF, IT WOULD BE: Stop licking myself in public.

IF I COULD INVITE FOUR PEOPLE TO DINNER - LIVING OR DEAD – THEY WOULD BE: Picasso, Sophia Loren, Freud and Goofy – for comic relief.

IF I COULD PLAY A SONG FROM THE TOP OF THE FERRY BUILDING: I left my heart in San Francisco for Piedmont!
