2nd Place Winner   I   2024 OZ Top Dog with a Job

Clifford

Breed: Staffordshire bull terrier

Barking from: WA

What's up dog?

Cliff's determination has been evident since birth, entering the world with a cleft lip and palate. Despite this, he has become a dual-trained operational search and rescue dog with the State Emergency Services. Cliff thrives on training and public interaction, and once his uniform is on, he's fully focused on the job. He has successfully assisted in locating missing people, proving that being different is just as good. Cliff couldn’t be happier with his reward for a day's work—a squeaky ball.

2024 #OZTOPDOG Award Ceremony

After 9 weeks and nearly 300 entries, the search is over. people2people, in partnership with sponsors Infront Sports and Edge Recruitment, were proud to have presented our 2024 OZTOPDOG competition. On behalf of our entire OZTOPDOG team, thank you to everyone for entering our 9th edition and help make it our biggest and more successful competition to date.

The last few months have been about celebrating our furry best friends and shedding some light on their paw-some work. While each entry was uniquely different, the one thing they all had in common was that having your tail-wagging pal around had helped improve your mental health.
