Meet Star
Breed: Dalmatian
Barking from: Waitakere, West Auckland
What's up dog?
Star loves to bring joy to everyone around him, whether he's excitedly greeting us when we arrive home from work, running out to welcome the local postie (he loves attention and a pat from anyone!) or just simply keeping Nana company at home in her granny flat during the long cold days. Star always has a smile on his face down at the local park and gets compliments on what a beautiful dog he is,although he'd probably rather be considered handsome! Star enjoys the freedom of living on our lifestyle block, and continues to grow with his good manners,he's so patient around our 2 noisy roosters, who often wait for him out the back door,and loves to watch the local rabbits emerge at dusk. At night he loves his spot on the couch, yet still finds time to cuddle with us (or any guests) who want to sit with him, sharing his love around even more!
