Meet Dohko
Breed: Golden Retriever
Barking from: Wellington
What's up dog?
Dohko instantly puts a smile on everyones face who meets him. When my nephew did his ˜family crown at preschool, a hand drawn picture of Dohko was front and centre on the crown M, much to his mums (my sister) surprise. He is our ˜petit prince who came with us all the way from Montreal, Canada to New Zealand. He is a champion fetch player and is learning to surf at Lyall Bay, learning much faster than his humans so far!
