Meet Duke
Breed: Border Collie
Barking from: Te Anau
What's up dog?
Duke is always one to cheer people up. He is a typical playful and excited collie who expects everyone to be his friend. He is a complete dork that never fails to make you smile & laugh between his random ways of playing or the fact he’s a complete klutz for falling over or running into things cause he’s too excited to focus on where he is going. He loves to explore around our amazing town in Te Anau meeting people and also spreading photos from our adventures around here on social media.
