OTHER THAN TOWN FOUNDERS ROBERT AND DARYL DAVIS, BUD the dachshund was probably the most common site around town. Bud worked very hard during the early days of Seaside accompanying Robert to work every day. Bud would ride in Robert's bicycle basket to the office. After that it was a steady stream of meetings and sight visits. Bud took his job of House Inspector very seriously, but those close to Bud knew he was secretly looking for leftover lunch scraps from the carpenters! Perhaps the dachshund has become a symbol for New Urbanism movement because of Bud's personality and legendary status. Maybe everyone needs a dachshund of their own to help build a proper town!
