Clifford

What's up dog?
Cliffs determination though adversity has always been apparent from the moment he was born. Cliff entered the world a little different to most pups. Born with a cleft lip and palate. What better way to show the world that different is just as good, than to become a dual trained operational search and rescue dog with the State emergency services.
Cliff thrives on training and interacting with the public.
Put his uniform on and his nose is on the job. He has successfully assisted in locating missing people and couldn't be happier with his pay for the day, a squeaky ball.
