Anipal Photo Hunt #16 My Other Job

I was the Official Poster Boy for The Animal Welfare League (@AWLQ), Qld, Australia.  I regularly appeared in magazines, newspapers and even television.

I was the AWLQ's Guest Speaker at large functions, where I would do photo shoots and go on stage (wearing my Dinner Suit) and use my charm to promote the adoption of Golden Oldies.

 I LOVED photo shoots; the bigger the camera the better I worked it !  I could do 4 hour shoots without missing a beat !  Not bad for an 18year old dog !  BOL !

Photograph: Official Media photograph from national newspaper publicity for @AWLQ.  I even had 17 pics in a full Photo Gallery on the newspaper's  Web Site !

I am even in one National Media Photographer's Resume Book, alongside her photos of The Rolling Stones !  True story !


Crossing OTRB has not slowed me up !  I am still the Poster Boy for @AWLQ Golden Oldies.  I raise money and awareness globally for Golden Oldies every opportunity I get, in an effort to remind Pals that we are the perfect pets !

Photograph:  doggies at @AWLQ loving their new toys from #PepiPawty that everyone held in my Honor !  Lots of cash was raised, as well as 200 toys !  You guys really made a BIG difference to these doggies and kittehs while they were waiting to find their "forever families" !

I have also change the perception of Pals and their human's thinking about Pet Pram/Strollers !  People used to laugh and jeer at me in my Pram/Stroller.  But Mum and I persevered !  We made Prams acceptable.  Then we made Prams COOL !
Pram sales have now soared ! Prams are now considered a cool canine accessory.  Kitteh Strollers too !

Photograph: Mum & I used to run 6 miles every day; I would run & then rest up & then run more.  I could run approx 2 miles on my own paws! (not bad for 18 yrs old !)  The Pram kept me an active and healthy member of Society !  I highly recommend every elderly or infirm Pal to have one !

I also trained our neighbor dogs.  They were allowed to accompany Mum and I on our daily 6 mile run, where I would instruct them about the refinements of life, such as manners !  Neighbor dog Bonnie was my best friend.  Because she is so tall, I taught her to lay on the ground to talk to me.  Saved me getting a neck cramp !  I was a "mentor" to many younger dogs.

Photograph:  Bonnie & I resting up after a run.  Bonnie liked to visit my house because I always got ice cream after a run !

But when the camera crews went home and the pawty lights were turned off....I was just a regular little hairy guy. 

Photograph:  I had 24 Buddies, but this one was my favorite.  This is a rare photo of me because I'm nekkid ! BOL !  I almost always demanded to be wearing some type of outfit; at least a
t-shirt !  BOL !
