What's up dog?

Okki has had a massive impact on myself, my daughter and those who know him.

Okki the same age now as my daughter (8)
From the day my daughter was born Okki has been a God sent.

Being a single parent there where times I couldn't stop my daughter from crying when she was a baby but Okki would always save the day he would do zoomies around her picking up random toys in his mouth and make her laugh so much it was so precious.

Okki has helped myself and my daughter with our anxiety, getting me back out into the community & walking after I experienced CPTSD from Domestic violence.

Okki has become a well known happy smiley dog within the Semaphore community, he is known to some local businesses and spreads his love to them on a weekly bases by offering pats and cuddles.

He's a special part of our little family of 2.
My adopted step dad Mick (a special friend of mine) took us in when we experienced homelessness and became very close to Okki and now has weekly Doggy Dates where I allow Mick to have Okki for a day or a sleepover to keep Mick company, go on walks and spend time bonding and enjoying each other's company.

Okki puts smiles on many faces and is such a happy, loving, well mannered and trained dog we would be lost without him.
He's one in a million.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
