PAUL’S READING ROOM

 

This is a new segment for all to enjoy.

 

Paul Alcock, a Liaison Officer for Upper Hutt, has been visiting Summerset in Trentham for the past 7 years with Sue and their canine friends Jax & Tawnee.  They are both very passionate about their dogs and enjoy sharing many experiences they have with them and the people they meet.

 

Paul is an avid reader and says “here are some books that are, of course, doggy stories but many are extremely educational and, of course, true examples of what canines are capable of.  Many are truly an inspiration for the pet therapy work we do”.
