Meet Syrah
Breed: Labradoodle
Barking from: Wellington
What's up dog?
Syrah is simply a ray of sunshine in everyone's life who meets her. She unselfishly loves and trusts everyone she meets - but in a way that means everyone who engages with her feels special. She is so relaxed with people that she will unconditionally offer them her tummy to rub ... total trust. She has developed a special relationship with a significantly autistic boy of 6 Harry. Harry can't speak much but he can say Syrah, with a big grin on his face. She is a dog for the people!
