Thank you Mark Vette - Animal Behaviourist. Nancy truly is a special girl.

We are very much looking forward starting a new chapter of training with you 🥰

❤️🐾❤️

She was barely three months old when she first walked into a hospital ICU — and she's been going back ever since. Twice a week, every week, Nancy shows up for patients facing some of the hardest moments of their lives.

What really moves me is her instinct. She knows. She pauses outside the rooms of patients who can't respond — unwilling to walk past without offering something.

That's the quiet magic of dogs. No pity, no hesitation — just wholehearted, unfiltered love.

Nancy reminds all of us dog people just how lucky we are to be in the presence of such wholly non-judgemental, unconditionally loving beings.

Dogtor Nancy, you are so worthy of this.

Congratulations on being voted the 2026 Southern Cross Pet Insurance Pawsies Dog of the Year 🏆🐾

Fair to say this little munchkin has a few toys 🤣😂. Also fair to say that most of them came from Otago Petfoods - Mosgiel Branch one of Nancys favourite places to visit!!

AND this isn’t all of them! Some of them are in the “hospital” ward, aka the kitchen table, awaiting surgery 😉

One of Nancys “requests” while in the hospital is “paws up”.

I took some photos this morning and there’s a better actual “paws up” photo but I loved this one the most.

She looks like she should:

a) have a cigar in one paw and a glass of whiskey in the other while wearing her Thermo master “smoking jacket” 🤣😉

b) be hanging out the window of a flash car on a sunny day

🤣❤️🐾❤️🤣

Last day tomorrow to see Nancys billboard.

Loads of people from the hospital today were talking about it.

I videoed it in our way home just in case you haven’t seen it 🥰

My phone has changed the pixels. It a lovely crisp blue. So not Nancys normal pink 😉

Thank you to all that voted for her and thank you to Southern Cross Pet
