Rescue Dog


Cody is one of the first dogs I got to know in Melbourne. He was rescued as a fully grown dog from the dog shelter at Save-A-Dog Scheme. I met him after he had been in his new home for only a few days. He was rather flighty and nervous and a little anxious.

Time has past and he is now part of his new environment, an apartment near Gasworks Park where he can be found exercising most days. He has proved to be an ideal choice.

He bonded quickly and well with his new owner. So much so that if they are walking and she is out of his sight he immediately becomes anxious. We don’t know his history and perhaps she is the only person who has given him security.

Cody put the animal shelter far behind him when he agreed to become a photographic model for a brand of canine fashions.

He has given a great deal of joy, love and entertainment. We’re all richer for him coming into our lives.
The pictures show Cody asking for his dinner and leaving his bed for somewhere cooler on a hot Melbourne night.
