Hairold’s puppy days.

A little face, a new name, and the start of a family story.

Hairold The Dog · Published September 2026 · Family photos

Hairold was born January 7, 2022. His family brought him home from Port Elgin on Tuesday, March 15, 2022. His previous name was Oscar; his new name honoured Papa Harold, with an extra “i” for the fluffy pup everyone came to know.

These family photographs follow him from puppy curiosity to outdoor adventures. They are shared as memories, without assigning dates or locations to individual photos we have not confirmed.

Small moments, big Hairold.
