Meet Spud

People's Choice Finalist

Meet Spud

Breed: Shih Tzu

Barking from: Auckland

What's up dog?

Spud is my best pal, sidekick, and always there for me. The single best thing to ever happen to my mental health and life in general! He's so full of beans and has taught me to live in the moment!

I'm also going to start on a royal oil painting of Spud this weekend. His full name is Sir Spudlington Penrose Arrowsby the III. A very posh name for a silly dog.
