What's up dog?
Coco is a 2 and half year old french bulldog. Since she was about 8 weeks old she has been attending school with her mum. She goes at least 3 days a week and hangs out in the classroom. She has helped many children with different needs over these two years and while on playground duty she gets lots of pats and cuddles.The staff enjoy a Coco cuddle in the staffroom as well.On a Friday, Coco gets her St John therapy pet bandana on and visits the very sick patients in Dunedin Hospitals ICU. The nurses and Drs also take comfort from her visits and a doggy lick, bum wiggle or snuggle are all received gratefully. Coco then heads up to Wakari hospital to visit some lovely nurses and patients in the Mental Health unit.She is a special wee girl who shares her lovely nature with all she comes across.
