What's up dog?

Bronx has been a source of comfort and joy, and his unconditional love has helped me and my whole family get through some of the toughest days. In September 2022 my incredible mum passed away from cancer. She was my rock and best friend, I really thought I could not live without her. Fortunately I had Bronx.

When I am feeling down or overwhelmed, he will curl up next to me and provide a loving and calming presence. His playful nature helps me stay active and engaged in life, even when I don't feel like it. The unconditional love and loyalty that he gave me and my family in such an impactful moment within my life, I will be forever grateful for. Bronx's comical behaviours are infectious and always manage to bring a smile to my face. He has a very vocal personality and isn't shy about letting you know when he wants or needs something. He has an incredible ability to love unconditionally and bring joy to those around them. His positive energy is contagious, and he has an innate ability to sense when someone needs comfort or support.

Beyond his emotional support, Taking care of him has given me a sense of routine and structure, which has been essential during a time when everything else feels all over the place. He is also a great motivator for me to maintain my passions and get out into nature. Bronx is trained to do a variety of tricks, such as speaking and waving to rebounds and hooped arms. These tricks not only provided entertainment but also helped redirect my sad feelings. Overall, my dog has had a massive impact on my life, and I am forever grateful for his love and companionship. He has helped me find joy and purpose during a difficult time, and I know that our bond will only continue to grow stronger as we navigate life together, I could not live without him.
