Breed: Tricolour Cocker Spaniel
Barking from: Queenstown, Queenstown
What's up dog?
Fergus brings sunshine into people's lives especially when they are worried or concerned about their future. Stroking and playing with Fergus helps people relax and gives them the ability to be able to listen carefully to their options when they are discussing their immigration to New Zealand options. He had the ability to sit quietly next to people even when he's not being fussed to enable them to remain calm in, sometimes, stressful situations. He loves all the staff in the office and helps them feel comfortable & loved in their work environment. He welcomes everyone with the same amount of energy & enthusiasm and will often show them the way up the stairs to the office. He loves quietly relaxing in his bed in the office when administration work is going on. Fergus had a sixth sense about when it is time to celebrate with clients and when it is time to sit quietly and be a relaxing presence. He is often left with soggy ears after the news is not positive but takes it all in his stride.
