Meet Paddington
Breed: Border Terrier
Barking from: Whitianga, Whitianga
What's up dog?
Paddington isn't just adorable he's on a mission. With over $700 raised for NZ Blind Low Vision Guide Dogs and more than $100 donated through SPCA Cupcake Day, he's turned belly rubs and biscuit crumbs into real change. Paddington brings smiles, joy, and a whole lot of tail wags wherever he goes. He's a reminder that good dogs and good deeds go paw-in-paw. Let's crown him NZ Top Dog People's Choice! @paddingtonpup_ on instagram
