What's up dog?
Jock has been volunteering at Te Puke Hospice Shop since he was 8 weeks old He is now 3. He greets customers usually by standing on his back legs and double hi fiving anyone who walks in to the shop. If the hi fives work then thats his opportunity to lie on his back to get a tummy rub. Customers ask for him by name and some ask œWheres the supervisor? He especially likes small children as theres a big chance theyll be some food on their faces he can get a lick of. Security isnt his strongest point hes a lover not a fighter
