Osseo’s Katie Nelson and Nathan Hoffman wanted to include Rosie, their golden retriever, in their wedding but wondered who would tend to her that day. Doggy Social offered the services they needed. Come the wedding day, Rosie posed for photos, nailed her ring-bearer role and attended the reception for a bit. Her appearance featured outfit changes, including a custom-designed floral collar for the wedding and a bow for the reception.
