What's up dog?
Wolf survived Cyclone Gabrielle and would not leave the wreckage till he knew I was out of it. We lost our house in Cyclone Gabrielle me my husband and two children were asleep in our house when at 2am it was hit by a landslide and we all tumbled down the hill in the wreckage including wolf. He was lost in the dark and wreckage for 14 hours before we found him unrecognisable covered in mud but he would not leave the wreckage until he saw me and knew I was safe. He is the most loyal companion and has been even before this when I went through ivf he was always by my side and caring through the ups and downs. He is incredible and is 15 years old.
