Introduction: This hat is for the humans of those dogs who want to go outside and play, no matter the weather. With stranded dogs chasing diamonds around the crown, the Go Fetch Hat is the perfect accessory for wearing to the dog park in the winter, or even just out for a short walk around the neighborhood. I originally designed this for my husband in the body type of our mixed-breed rescue pup, the brown dog he calls his best friend.
