Meet George
Breed: Rescue Dog
Barking from: Whangamata, Whangamata
What's up dog?
George is known in Whangamata as The Fastest Dog in Town for his speed round the our local dog park. Skills honed during Covid he loves the park although can be prone to distraction if other dog smells are present. He's well known on Port Road and receives endless pats during walks with Mum and Dad. In the last year he has picked up the odd job accompanying his mother who is an aged carer. Small and gentle with everyone, he is now often requested on appointments.
