Meet Stevie
Breed: Border Terrier
Barking from: Oamaru
What's up dog?
Maybe a stretch calling our adorable terrier a working dog but I want to highlight the role of the family pet! Stevie is the protector of our wee space in the world¦our home, physical and mental health! Our fur therapist who gets us out walking in all weather, out talking to strangers as well as checking in on friends so she can greet them with warm affection.
I work from home so she doubles as a vital office assistant and is the guinea pig for learning new games for games based dog training. Stevie seems to read the emotional gauge of humans around her very well and has snuggled in providing support many a time at the right time.
