Breed: Border Collie

Barking from: Grenada Village , Wellington

What's up dog?

Rowan is my very best friend. He gets me out everyday & helps me in many ways. He has recently been certified as a Medical Assistance Dog & he helps me with my medical conditions. Not a day goes by when people do not tell me what a beautiful dog he is. People have even yelled it out from their vehicles. He has people in his life that he has chosen as his favourite people & he has a dog girlfriend. While his role of an Assistance Dog meant many changes to his life, he still has a full life full of fun & adventures. Mostly he provides me with the life I couldn't have without him. To me he is my everything.

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.
