BETHEL Technically, Marti is famous. The apricot doodle who casts an aura of ease was runner up in America’s Favorite Pet. His dad and owner, Noah Tanguay-Collins, filled out a link someone sent him, and he received an email one day telling him Marti was a finalist. While the world dotes on Marti from afar, those in Bethel are eager to embrace him.
“Someone will come by on a mountain bike and say hi to Marti [specifically],” laughs Tanguay-Collins.
Marti, who got his name from the cocktail, ‘martini,’ was born on April’s Fools Day in 2020, in the heart of the pandemic. He is a hypoallergenic dog, which works out perfectly for Tanguay-Collins as he’s allergic to dogs.
