Voices of Pup Parents

“Craig has always had a way of becoming the pack leader, and his love for taking dogs on adventures is second to none. My dog, Theo, has been lucky enough to be part of so many of those adventures, and I can honestly say there’s no one I’d trust more with him. Craig has been talking about Murphy’s Pup Bus for years, so it’s awesome to see that dream finally becoming a reality. His passion for dogs and his ability to understand them is something special. Austin’s dogs are in for a real treat.”

“Seeing Murphy’s Pup Bus and the Pup Ranch come to life has been incredible. Craig is building a doggy oasis, with safety as his number one priority! The Pup Parents and the loyal Murphy’s Pup Bus fans are going to be blown away when they see the experience on social media in all its glory.

The bus is awesome. From the custom hand-painted artwork to the ingenious seat extensions with built-in seat belts that keep every pup safe and comfortable. The 5-acre shaded ranch is nothing short of spectacular! Between the hiking trails, dog park, huge swimming pool built just for dogs, and the beautiful “wedding tent” with outdoor A/C, it’s got everything for every dog. A true doggy paradise.

There are few people I’d trust to care for my Lab, Molly, and Craig is at the top of that list. In fact, he was one of the first people I called when I brought Molly home. For as long as I’ve known Craig, he’s always had a dog by his side, and his love for them shows in everything he’s created. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog like family, you won’t find anyone better.”

“One of my fondest memories is watching Craig in his element, leading his dog Murphy and my dogs on mountain hikes in Colorado. All the pups happily followed his lead. He has an incredible natural gift for pack leadership and dog care. Now that he has opened Murphy’s Pup Bus, I am confident any dog lucky enough to attend will get top tier attention, exercise, and love. Highly recommend!”
