A message from one of our regular dog walkers about Joey – a staffie who you will find in one of the paddocks at the back of the Home so he often gets over looked. His animal page is here.
Arriving at BCAD Home one busy Saturday, I discovered all my regular dogs had been walked. Though slightly disappointed, I saw this as a great opportunity to make a new ‘paw pal.’ Which is precisely what happened when Joey the adorable little Staffie entered my life. Strutting up towards me with a waggy tail, he certainly made a great first impression.
Joey walked happily by my side, ignoring other dogs, stopping for occasional ‘tummy tickles’ on the freshly cut grass. After our tiring walk I perched on a bench with dear little Joey sitting quietly on my lap, licking my arms, content just to be cuddled and fussed over.
Joey is a remarkably intuitive, intelligent dog, with such a loving gentle nature. He was my doggy pal on the Wag Walk, where he enjoyed an impromptu play-date with a hyperactive Labrador puppy; I think he fell in love with her a little as he pined when she ran away!
Throughout the walk whenever I slowed to keep my balance Joey followed suit, and at one point even jumped up to break my fall with his paws.
Joey would be an utterly fantastic companion for anyone seeking a loyal, affectionate best friend.
