What's up dog?
Kingsley is an active golden retriever with many strings to his bow. When he's not competing in agility or sled dog racing he's at working at Tisbury School. Kingsley active attitude to life could be put down trying to keep up with his border collie siblings he lives with, but when he comes to school he provides a variety of opportunities for kids to learn, be comforted, and feel safe around dogs. Kingsley can be seen throughout the day being read to by tamariki, cuddling upset or injured tamariki or vacuuming the classroom floors. Kingsley has a bubbly and friendly face, which gives the smaller and younger kids confidence to approach and learn how to be around bigger dogs.
