What's up dog?
Civic has a lovely impact on everyone he meets, once you get to know him his personality comes shining out. He loves thinking hes the most helpful staff at our daycare and we quite often call him Sheriff Civ. Hes so cheeky, leaving us all cracking up when hes around. Recently one of the staff has become pregnant so hes decided to œhelp her go up the stairs by standing there letting her hold his back end. Which in eyes means hes the man and deserves a reward haha! Civic very quickly became the reason i started working with dogs, after hearing about him sit in a rescue his whole life and seeing the issues that came from not enough training, i used it as motivation to make life enjoyable and better for both of us! He now is the master of learning new tricks and lives his life travelling, adventuring and working at his part time job being the sheriff.
