Bernie

Bernie or "Snowy", as he is nicknamed, has the most amazing soft coat - you have to feel it to believe it. Once you start patting him, it's hard to stop!

He is a happy, confident boy who has flourished in care since leaving the pound.

He genuinely wants to be everyone's friend - two or four legged! He is playful, but not boisterous. He gets on well with other dogs and loves kids. He ignored his carer's cat.

He has small, freckle-like spots scattered over his body and big brown spots on his eyes and rump.

He has a slightly undershot jaw which gives him an interesting profile - it looks like he is trying to be a tough guy, but he just can't pull it off because of his sweet nature!

This friendly little character is in care in western Sydney, near Penrith.
