Indiana
Breed: Australian Shepherd
Barking from: Victoria
What's up dog?
Indiana (Indie) is the ultimate people’s dog. I think what I love most about her is her willingness to always give people her attention and make them feel special. It doesn't matter if it’s my mum or dad who she knows well or just a random stranger in the street. She will approach them with the same wholesome joy wagging her butt as only Aussies can.
She is so kind and eager to please. I see the positive influence and lasting impression she has on everyone who meets her. Put simply she makes your day better. She makes you forget about all the things that are stressing you out or making you sad and for that brief moment when you’re patting her smiling face the world doesn’t seem so bad.
She is so smart, loyal and in a special way she motivates others to engage more deeply with their own pets and appreciate them.
Indie is my best friend. And if she lived to a hundred I hope I live to be a hundred minus one, so that I neve have to live a day without her.
