Meet Dougal

People's Choice Finalist

Meet Dougal

Breed: Maltese Shih Tzu

Barking from: Auckland

What's up dog?

Dougal is loved by everyone at my workplace and is the acknowledged favourite of the many dogs who spend time here. He arrives in his own special chariot (an e-cargo bike) after a 12km trip across town, delighting walkers and cyclists on the way. While at work, he visits everyone individually to say hello - with particular focus on those who spoil him with dog treats! He's super playful and always keen for a lunchtime fitness walk, play chasey with his ball or frolic with other visiting dogs.
