What's up dog?
My dog Blondie has been the inspiration for me to create my new business LOVEDOG, a boutique store in Surry Hills offering unique products for pets and their owners. It was love at first sight when I rescued her 4 years ago. Watching the smiles and happiness Blondie gives to everyone who lays eyes on her inspired me to develop great products for dogs and people - LOVEDOG is the celebration of my love for her. Blondie sits front and centre in the LOVEDOG shop she is the brand ambassador, showroom manager and all round superstar. Not just the model for our product ranges (check out our website), Blondie is a financial investor in LOVEDOG through her outside work as a shoot model, recently featuring in Vogue, Aldi and Hills Pet Nutrition her earnings have helped us along the way to launch the brand dedicated to her.
Blondie is a local star when you see a picture of her youll see why. Her presence and energy have connected us to people across our local community, whether they own a dog or not. She brings cheer and happiness to anyone that sees her, starting with me, and I am proud to have her sitting on her dedicated sofa in the LOVEDOG shop.
As Blondie sprawls on her sofa, clients get to sit down next to her for a pat, take some pictures and talk about the dogs in their life. Every day she helps us make connections with people, share stories and remind ourselves about the contributions these incredible beasts make to our lives.Every dog brings joy in their own way
