Princess Ligeia

​This week's soap featuring one of the Michigan Search and Rescue dogs is named for Princess Ligeia, or Geia, for short. You may recall reading about Ligeia in Greek Mythology as one of the sirens and one particularly from Homer's "Odyssey".

Geia is a black Labrador and came to her handler Dave as a puppy in 2010  She began her training in the area of Air Scent/Wilderness right away and is certified with the team. Geia is a happy lab and loves to give kisses when she finds her subject. She does a great job of washing eye glasses. And, of course, being a princess pink is the perfect color for her!

This soap is scented with Black Raspberry Vanilla fragrance in a base of olive, coconut, palm, sunflower and cocoa butter oils. This is a limited edition soap. There are currently 9 - 5 oz bars available.
