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!

2025 NZ People's Choice Award

We believe no dog should be left behind.


Every dog entered into the competition is automatically in the running for the 2025 People’s Choice Award — and the winner will be decided by you, the public.


This year, we’re giving the aroha back to our communities.


Each year, our campaign is supported by a number of incredible charities across Aotearoa that work tirelessly to improve the lives of dogs and people alike. In 2025, we’re shining a spotlight on these organisations and the vital mahi they do.


As part of the voting process, every voter will have the chance to donate to our amazing mental health or dog-focused charities.


It’s your vote, your voice, and your opportunity to make a difference.
