Meet Chester & Barney
Breed: Cavoodle
Barking from: Auckland
What's up dog?
Chester has been such a great mental support animal and has been around for some of the hardest times and we were lucky enough to adopt Barney this year. I would be extremely lost without these two in my life. Theyve improved my social life immensely and Ive made friends with people I would have never met without them.
