Daygo

For Miguel and Daygo, life’s greatest adventures aren’t measured by the miles traveled but by the memories made along the way. From road trips to dachshund meetups and beach days with friends to quiet moments at home, Daygo has become more than a companion. He’s a loyal sidekick who has reshaped Miguel’s perspective on love, patience, and the joy of sharing life with a dog. In this interview, Miguel reflects on the experiences that have strengthened their bond, the everyday moments he treasures most, and why choosing thoughtfully made products is an important part of giving Daygo the life he deserves.…

What makes Daygo one of a kind? Tell us about their personality and favorite things.
Daygo is truly one of a kind because he has the sweetest soul. He can be a little anxious in new situations, but once he feels comfortable, his loving personality shines through. He has the biggest, most expressive eyes that can melt anyone’s heart, and he always seems to know how to make people smile. He’s incredibly affectionate, loves meeting new people, and will never say no to any kind of treat. Whether we’re out exploring or just relaxing at home, Daygo has a way of making every moment feel special. His gentle heart and happy spirit are what make him so unique.

What’s an adventure or experience with Daygo that you’ll always treasure?
One of the things I’ll always treasure is all the road trips we’ve taken together. Daygo is my little travel buddy, and we’ve driven from city to city attending dachshund meetups, dog events, and brand collaborations. Every trip is an adventure, whether we’re exploring a new beach, discovering a new town, or meeting other dog lovers. Spending all that time together has made our bond even stronger. He’s more than just my dog, he’s truly my best friend, and there’s no one I’d rather have riding shotgun beside me.

Has Daygo taught you anything about yourself or about life?
Daygo has taught me patience in ways I never expected. From training him as a puppy to learning his personality, he’s reminded me that the best things take time, consistency, and understanding. More than anything, he’s given me a love and appreciation for animals that I never knew I had. Before Daygo, I wasn’t a dog person, but now I can’t imagine my life without him. He’s opened my heart in a way I never expected and has shown me how much joy and unconditional love animals bring into our lives.

Peony Celeste believes the little things, like daily walks and shared routines, can become the most meaningful memories. What’s one everyday moment with Daygo that you’ll always cherish?
Honestly, I cherish his company more than anything. Whether we’re going on walks with Mom, heading to the beach with his best friend, or driving to different dachshund meetups and events, it’s not about where we’re going, it’s about being together. Those everyday moments are what mean the most to me. Seeing his excitement, watching him explore, and simply having him by my side makes even the simplest outings feel special. Those shared moments are the memories I’ll always treasure.

Our mission is to create products that are beautiful, functional, and kind to the world our dogs explore. Why is quality and conscious design important when choosing products for Daygo?
Because I use these products every single day, quality and reliability are incredibly important to me. Whether it’s a leash, harness, collar, or travel accessory, I need to know it’s built to last and will keep Daygo safe and comfortable on all of our adventures. We spend so much time exploring together that I rely on the products we use, so thoughtful design and durability make a huge difference. When a product is also made with care for the environment, it’s an added bonus because I want to help protect the places Daygo and I love exploring together.

More Than a Portrait

I’m honored to create studio portraits for the dogs who have become the heart of our community. Each portrait celebrates their unique personality, love, and joy. These photographs are more than keepsakes—they’re a tribute to the bond that inspired Peony Celeste from the very beginning, and memories families can treasure for years to come.

Every ambassador has a story worth following. If you’d like to see more of Daygo's journey, visit @weenie_daygoon Instagram and say hello from the Peony Celeste family.

The Ambassador Portrait Project

This little project is my way of saying thank you to our incredible brand ambassadors and the humans who love them.

Every dog has a story. Some have helped their families through life’s hardest moments. Others have inspired new adventures, brought laughter back into a home, or simply made every day brighter. Those stories are the heart of Peony Celeste.

When I photograph your dog, I do my best to capture more than just how they look. I hope to preserve their personality, their spirit, and the little expressions that make them uniquely yours.

I truly believe these portraits are one of the most meaningful gifts I can give to our ambassadors. It’s my way of celebrating the bond you share and thanking you for being part of this community.

I feel incredibly grateful for every dog and every family I’ve had the privilege to photograph, and I can’t wait to create many more memories together.
