What's up dog?

Ammo has a pretty pawtastic life! Although he definitely gets a good fair share of treatos , he also works hard to earn his keep! In between his dog walker and daycare days, he also spends time being the resident Pet Direct bossdawg in the office, greeting visitors and presenting them with his latest toy find. Let's not furget he's my trusty sidekick for puppy classes ,teaching puppies how to dog and how to be a bonafide good boi (or good gurl!) Ammo is also my pawsome pet first aid companion, allowing everyone to pretend bandage him whilst he gives the very best sad puppy eyes and pretends to be injured. He's been a model dog since the tender age of 16 weeks old and allowing anyone to handle him nose to tail! Ammo is definitely special on a whole nother level , in the best way of course. No matter who sees Ammo , his big golden eyes and droppy ears are sure to put a smile on your face. He is the epitome of the word "big softie" since he's a massive 45kgs but would do anything for a pat on the head. I've lost count the amount of times i've been stopped at a redlight with a car next to me , wondering why they're smiling at me , to realise that they are staring at Ammo in the backseat with his head out the window.
