Maggie
Breed: Staffy
Barking from: NSW
What's up dog?
Maggie is a 1 year old staffy who recently became apart of my life. Maggie is such a gentle, happy and at times sassy girl who brings so much joy to those around her even over zoom!
As a mental health worker who works at home Maggie will often join in on the video calls and loves to make guest appearances in team meetings. The team love calling out to Maggie on the calls making her ears perk up and seeing her little head tilt as she stares at the screen. On the days where work is really heavy emotionally Maggie provides a sense of comfort and support.
When going on walks Maggie loves to stop and greet everyone. She will stare at them wagging her tail until they come over for a cuddle. In the area we walk in we will often have older people who love to stop for a pat and chat about their pets they once owned. I love seeing the smile on peoples faces when she rolls over for a belly rub or when she starts snorting with joy.
I can't wait to see Maggie spread more joy and happiness to everyone around her.
