Meet Bolt
Breed: Husky
Barking from: Auckland
What's up dog?
After losing our previous dog in tragic circumstances I became very isolated and sad. We weren't specifically looking for a dog when Bolt came into our lives. He has been a godsend, a ray of pure sunshine who has kickstarted my life again. Renewed my joy in every day. Drags me out in all weather, provides company, fulfilment, love and laughter. This happy little pup has had such a dramatic impact on our family. Healing our broken hearts,lightening our moods, returning joy to us and he doesn't even know it.
