The Three Dog Sedona Gallery ~ The Founders
Three Dog Bakery was actually named for our hungry founding sisters - Sarah, Gracie, and Dottie. Their photos and caricatures decorate the bakeries and appear on our packaging.
Here are the heartwarming stories of the dogs that inspired the treats that are known the world rover:
Sarah Jean, the Biscuit Queen
Executive V.P. of Leg Sniffing & Tummy Rubs
(February 1, 1987 - December31, 2001)
Sarah Jean, the first of the founding sisters of Three Dog Bakery was a rescued black lab mix. Sarah was instrumental in our early days of product research and development. A prodigious and equal opportunity consumer of treats, foods and shoes, Sarah's involvement with Three Dog Bakery sparked many new product ideas. With dogged determination, Sarah Jean kept her ears perked and her tail fluffed for all quality control issues and personally tried to sample each batch for consistency. Her hobbies included lounging, sniffing and snacking. |

Gracie
Executive V.P. of Munching & Begging
(November 11, 1989 January 21, 1999)
Gracie, the Extra Lovable, was also the extra-large third founding sister of Three Dog Bakery. An albino Great Dane, Gracie was born deaf but overcame her disabilities to become one of the most recognized and loved dogs in the country. Always versatile, Gracie felt equally at home sniffing out treats, furry kitties and warm faces to lick. She had a commanding screen presence, judging from the volume of fan mail she received as co-star of her own national cooking show (with sisters, Sarah and Dottie). Gracie, drool and all, was loved like crazy and is sorely missed each and every day. She sleeps now with the angels, nudging us daily towards the higher path.

Dottie (aka Spots Galore)
Executive V.P. of Napping
(Sept. 1, 1988 June 23, 1999)
Dottie, the much-loved second founding sister of Three Dog Bakery. Although she had a spotty past, she definitely brought a special brand of enthusiasm and exuberance to our crew. Dottie's many, many spots were seen roaming the production lines deep into the night, looking to minimize potential waste from the floor. Her hard work and appreciation for delicious, fresh-baked treats served as a constant motivator for our entire staff. Dottie's hobbies included tailwagging, cuddling and, well, sleeping at which she more than excelled. Now in heaven, her spots shine even brighter for us, lighting our way. |
