Owner: Cellar master Véronique Corporandy

Affiliated Winery: Château Soutard

Location: St.-Emilion, Bordeaux, France

Dog Name: Bleu

Age: 14

Breed: English Setter

In a Word: Kind

Job Title: Professional dish licker. Once, Bleu was licking the dishes that were in the dishwasher and his collar got stuck on the bottom basket. When there was not any food left on the dishes, Bleu left the dishwasher area ... with the bottom basket fastened to him! Plates were projected everywhere. The more noise there was, the more Bleu would run away—and the more plates that were broken as well!

Star Quality: Clever

Favorite Activity: Bleu loves to go for a stroll in the vineyard or in the woods.

Favorite Getaway: Seaside, for example at the Cap Ferret in Gironde, France

Forgivable Flaw: His greediness!
