Meet Riley

Breed: Border Collie

Barking from: New Lynn, Auckland

What's up dog?

Riley's had the biggest impact on my new 6 month old baby bay Otis, and his continued growth on my 3 year old Poppy. He's the best big brother to both of them. They both love him to pieces and couldn't do life without him. Poppy wants him to help drop her off at day care everyday and Otis has the best laugh when he hears poppy and Riley playing in the morning.

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.
