Wellbeing Dogs

Kristen Cutting and Caroline Farrant

Our Wellbeing Dogs Coco and Alfie are having a ‘bow wow’ of a time at school and are really starting to settle into PMPS. They are loving pats and cuddles from the students, staff and our wonderful Port Melbourne community, and their tails are always wagging happily!

One problem is they are both food crazy, so we need to work hard at making sure we are not leaving food or rubbish around, particularly outside in the yard. Today Alfie wolfed down a piece of bread in lightning speed!
