First time at school sport 🥰.
Four weeks ago today Duke came to live with us. He’d been through a tough time. And so we walked. 5km a day without fail. Healing, trusting, having lots of treats and pats because he’s such a good boy. And a month on I can’t imagine him being anywhere else but with us. He’s perfect.
