Names: Luca (golden retriever) and Bossie

Owner: Anja Pannek, CEO, MFAA

About them: Luca, my golden retriever puppy, is very good at stealing socks and obsessed with the beach and tennis balls while Bossie, my wonderful 14-year-old dog still thinks he’s a puppy too!

Harvey

Name: Harvey

Owner: Matt Turner, broker principal, GSC Finance Solutions

About them: Harvey is a 10-year-old Cavoodle, eagerly awaiting the arrival of a brother (a Cocker Spaniel puppy, due in February). He has, on occasion, invited himself onto Zoom calls with clients during lockdowns, particularly during storms. Having a dog when working from home meant I rarely felt lonely and kept me occupied with daily walks to the café.

Tyson

Name: Tyson

Owner: Katrina Rowlands, broker principal, Mortgage Success

About them: Tyson was born on 15 November 2022, and he is the newest addition to our family of 14 donkeys, ranging from standard size to mini to micro (to be a micro donkey they need to measure below 30 inches at adulthood). He is a micro Red Jack who didn’t have the easiest start to life but is now a champion. Thus the fighting name — although he would be featherweight in the donkey world! 

Billie

About them: Billie is a six-year-old Boston Terrier whose favourite things are chicken wings, walking off leash and sleeping all day. Billie also enjoys waking Fi up at 6am for breakfast!

Charlotte and Stella

Name: Charlotte (pied colour) and Stella (tan blue colour)

Owner: Sofie Chapman, Buyers Choice Mortgage & Finance

About them: Charlotte and Stella are two rescue French Bulldogs. Charlotte is eight years old, and food is her mantra. But treats are her love language. Stella is two years old and has to be as close to me as possible 24/7. She even sleeps on my chest. Together they both love being beach babes, rolling in the sand and surf. They have met some of my clients when I’m out and about and they are a great lead generator — I met two of my clients at the local dog park!
