Emina went to Taloyoak, Nunavut, for work. The dogs had other plans.

A little Dolly wisdom worth carrying with us. πŸ’š

β€œWe should pay more attention. We’re just mistreating Mother Natureβ€”that’s like being ugly to your mama.”

Today, we remember a legend who left the world a little brighter, and this reminder to take better care of the world we share. 🌎

Rest in peace, Dolly. πŸ•ŠοΈ
