Meet Taro
Breed: Shiba Inu
Barking from: Auckland
What's up dog?
I work from home full time and Taro is the best companion and emotional support in my little home office. Petting him and seeing his cute little face helps to release stress. His presence encourages regular breaks for walks or play, promoting physical activity and mental refreshment. This enhances productivity and focus when returning to work tasks. Having Taro in my home office contributes to a more balanced, enjoyable, and healthy remote working environment.

We believe no dog should be left behind.
Every dog entered into the competition is automatically in the running for the 2025 People’s Choice Award — and the winner will be decided by you, the public.
This year, we’re giving the aroha back to our communities.
Each year, our campaign is supported by a number of incredible charities across Aotearoa that work tirelessly to improve the lives of dogs and people alike. In 2025, we’re shining a spotlight on these organisations and the vital mahi they do.
As part of the voting process, every voter will have the chance to donate to our amazing mental health or dog-focused charities.
