From the Editor
You probably know by now that I love dogs, especially pups in Charleston. But did you know there’s a famous furry friend in the Holy City? Helen and her dog Fifi relocated to the US to their new home of Charleston. This video of Fifi on the plane went viral and our city gained a little local celeb. Fun fact: Fifi will be featured on “The Drew Barrymore Show.” Catch it on Peacock when it airs.
