Meet Tonic
Breed: Cavoodle
Barking from: Palmerston North
What's up dog?
Tonic is the best companion. When working from home in winter. Hell sit on your knee to keep you warm. He nudges you for a play to give you a break from the screen. And he always greets you with a toy and a smile. Even if you only leave the room for a minute.
He likes to let you know when there are dogs on tv and expresses his excitement by standing up like a meerkat.
He is the light of our family home and brings us so much joy and character.
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.
