Meet Monty
Breed: Fox Terrier
Barking from: Auckland
What's up dog?
Monty visits Possum Borne rest home in Pukekohe. He brings smiles and laughter to 3 levels of care including the hospital block. Residents ask for him when he is not there, they pick him up for cuddles, wrap him in their clothes. He has also helped a resident get over her fear of dogs.Monty is the gentlest of dogs and puts up with so much. My 100 year old dad rough and tumbles with Monty, it is very heart warming to see the delight he brings too so many. He has also worked in the school helping kids to read.
