Charlie
Breed: Whippet Cross
Barking from: Brighton, VIC
What's up dog?
Charlie has made such a huge impact on everyone around him, especially his mum and dad. His funny antics make people smile every single day whether hes walking into walls because he forgets how long his body is, sliding off the couch mid-sleep, or his dramatic sighs and little grumbles.
Charlie isnt just a dog hes our baby, best friend, therapist, and the brightest part of every single day. Hes the first to greet you in the morning with his wagging tail and happy little grumbles, always demanding his morning pats before anything else. And at night, hes the last to cuddle up with you, making sure he gets his snuggles in before scooting himself under the doona to get cosy and warm.
Charlies story makes him even more special. We rescued him when he was two, and when he first came home, he was so scared and timid. It took him a while to realise he was finally safe and loved. But now, hes the complete opposite confident, happy, and very cheeky.
We are so lucky to have his goofy, loving soul showing us every day what it means to be loved unconditionally.
