Basil
Breed: Hungarian Vizsla
Barking from: Cowes, VIC
What's up dog?
This dog is a champ. Before we got Basil a year ago I used to work 14 hour days, jumping from one meeting to another with no break in between which eventually turned into depression, burn out and increase anxiety. Having Basil in my office enabled me to see a different side of life.
Most days he just sits on his bed in my home study looking handsome but somehow when things get a bit stressful he goes over to his toy box and brings me a rope to pull or a ball to throw and he puts everything else to perspective.
The best thing is he actually tells me when it's time to put my laptop away and go for a walk. The amount of unconditional love he offers is just disarming and he makes our lives so much better!
