Photon

I am Michael's Poodle

I’m Photon Gray, a poodle, and I have extensive responsibilities within the Gray family. I have successfully raised my human brother and sister, and between them, they know how to perform 57 tricks that amuse me. In addition, I have to maintain my family’s schedule and constantly prompt them to perform their essential duties, such as taking walks in the park or napping with me. 

My absolute favorite toys are balls, and I can catch almost any throw out of the air, even the wacky ones my Dad lets loose while he is talking on his cell phone. I have the honor to serve my grass in the role of Ambassador to the Lincoln Park Conservatory Garden, and allow every child who passes to pet me and throw my ball. I have also established an extensive treat network among the valets, doormen and maintenance engineers on my block, so that when I am out I can be fed every 15 feet. My education includes extensive off-leash training, and when I run free, I gleefully indulge in my great passion for chasing squirrels. 

In addition to my duties at home and in the park, I promote the careers of talented artists in Chicago’s wonderful art galleries. You can also find me on IG (@the_photinator).
