Matinicus (Tinni)
Tinni About Matinicus aka. “Tinni”
Tinni is the resident, blue merle, Pomeranian. Matinicus is an Abenaki word for a beautiful island 23 miles off of the coast of Rockland, in Knox Co. Maine. Tinni is pensive, sometimes content, and she always ready to explore and share her love of the moment.
Tinni also is the Visit Hagerstown, Washington County, Maryland (CVB) adventure mascot, where she enthusiastically utilizes her expertise in location scouting, supervising John, stunts, and providing general inspiration. Cute and snuggly, she also has a hunter’s heart. To tell her story with a camera means being able to live life at 1/8000 of a second.
