Origin Story - Emily in the Elevator: Argus, the adorable Labradoodle

Cocoa and Dakota

Just look at those faces!

As you read Emily in the Elevator, you meet Chris Anderson, Jr.’s dog, Argus. He is Chris’s companion and friend. He has been in Chris’s life for 2 years. They have a special bond, and we learn why he is so important to Chris as the story progresses. Argus is a chocolate Labradoodle and is smart, listening to Chris’s every word. In many ways, the fictional character Argus is a compilation of our Labradoodle, Cocoa (left), and our Standard Poodle, Dakota (right). Argus’s personality is a blend of both of their characters.

Cocoa traveled over the rainbow bridge 7 years ago. Dakota has been a part of our family for 6 years.
