Meet Gus

Breed: Tibetan Spaniel

Barking from: Burnside, Christchurch

What's up dog?

Gus is a young, fun loving guy who came into my life just when I needed him most. He's fierce but mighty! Channelling his inner ancestors from the towers of Tibet where they risked predation by snowleopard to warn the monks of strangers coming just like he does for us at our front door. He is the fun police to his cat sisters too.

2025 NZ People's Choice Award

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.


It’s your vote, your voice, and your opportunity to make a difference.
