What's up dog?

She has raised over $3000 for various charities in New Zealand & and Australia raising awareness for PTSD in Veterans and bowel cancer in young people to name a few. She has also worked briefly as a therapy dog visiting nursing homes where it was amazing to see the smiles on the residents faces as they patted the ˜big scary gsd. She is slowly breaking down the stigma that surrounds german shepherds one interaction at a time 🥰
