Gibson Kennels is a country dog’s paradise, but even a city slicker like yours truly can appreciate its down-home atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. The boarding and daycare building sits on the same property as owner Bob and Mel Gibson’s horse stables and family home. The experienced doggy people on staff always take a few extra minutes to see how “the little monsta,” as Bob calls me, has been since my last visit. Despite numerous kennels closer to our New Hampshire home, the sense of security my People feel when leaving me with the Gibsons for an extended stay makes every minute of the 90-minute drive worthwhile.
