We just love the image and Sundog has been part of our business name since 1998 when we went on a road trip and changed our company name to “Sundog Media“. We feel it was given to us by God as we were praying for a really cool name. 🙂 And… years later after we named our boat “Sundog”, we were driving down the road and noticed in the rear view mirror that “SUNDOG” spelled backwards is “God n Us”. Pretty cool eh! O.K. I am not the type to play rock music backwards and get encrypted alien messages but you have to admit – it is pretty cool.
