What’s your name? Hi, my name is Buddy.

Suburb: I live in lovely Redland Bay.

How long have you lived there? All of my five years.

What is your favourite local walk? I really like walking in the area, as I get lots of pats from lots of human friends. I especially enjoy swimming in the bay at the swimming enclosure. I would be a pretty good meal for any sharks in the area, so the enclosure keeps me safe. It’s also a favourite hangout for the local pelicans. We sometimes chat while they check out the fishing.

What is your favourite toy? I just love, love, love to chew bones. It saves my family’s furniture, apparently.

What is your favourite food? A favourite food? That’s like choosing a favourite child! Well, actually a great lamb roast. I like to supervise the cooking process, and if I’m given the opportunity, I add some extra ‘drool’ flavour. Hanging out in the kitchen also saves the floor from any escapee food, so there’s no `clean up on aisle three’ announcement. I also redirect any food from the bin (and landfill), because we all need to do our bit to save the planet.

What is your worst habit? My family thinks this is a bad habit; they call it a ‘nervous bark’, but really, I’m just trying to get some attention, because you can never have too many pats. They don’t like it much when I forage, but it’s all about survival.

What is your favourite hangout? I love to just hang out with my lovely family. The love is very much mutual.

Do you have a bestie? I just love playing with my cousin Louis. He is a cocker spaniel and plays like a golden retriever, which is awesome. Sometimes I go to holiday camp and play with Maple, the camp pooch. She’s a sweetie, pun intended!

Do you have any funny stories to share? Dad used to take me to work all the time – plenty of pats there. I’m not sure, but I think I was daydreaming and started chewing on the wooden furniture, thinking it was a chew bone. Now that I have a human brother and sister, I just love being around them at home.

What do people love most about you? People just love my lovable disposition. Look at my photo and you can see how adorable I am. Some humans may interpret it as attention seeking, but really, I’m just sharing the love, as I have so much love to give.

Buddy’s favourite charity is the Animal Welfare League QLD, and we have made a $50 donation on his behalf.
