Meet Sid
Breed: Pug X German Spitz
Barking from: Napier
What's up dog?
Sid goes to work with my Husband, Jayden. Jayden is a primary school teacher at a decile 1 school, with many of the kids having learning disabilities and background of trauma. Sid roams the classroom and allows kids to pat him and read to him. They kids love Sid’s relaxed energy in an environment that is often challenging to most kids. They write stories about him and make art dedicated to him. I love seeing how their faces light up when I drop him off for his visits.
