Meet Prince Louis
Breed: Maltese
Barking from: Orewa, Auckland
What's up dog?
My furry baby Prince Louis isn't just a pet. He's a daily source of joy, comfort, and connection in our community. At the pet-friendly cafe where I work, he goes above and beyond to: 🾠Spread Happiness: Customers light up when they see him, and his gentle presence turns strangers into friends. 🾠Support Seniors: He offers companionship to retirees, brightening their days with playful energy and quiet snuggles. 🾠Inspire Kids: Children adore interacting with him, learning kindness and responsibility through his patience. He doesn't just earn his title as Top Dog. He lives it every day by making the world around him a little warmer and wag-worthy!
