🐾❤️ A HEARTWARMING MORNING AT AWAHONO SCHOOL! ❤️🐾
What an absolute pleasure it was to be invited along to help judge the pets at Awahono School’s Pet Day this morning!
What a delight to see so many children, families and animals coming together to celebrate something so special — the love we share with our animal companions. ❤️
We met everyone from chicks and fluffy ducklings to piglets, calves, sheep, goats, cats, dogs and even a chicken named Chicken Nugget! 🐥🐷🐄🐑🐐🐕🐈🐓
But the real highlight wasn’t just the wonderful assortment of animals. It was seeing the genuine love, pride, kindness and connection these children had with their pets.
There is something incredibly heartwarming and hopeful about being surrounded by young people who love and care for animals. It gives us such encouragement for the kindness, compassion and wellbeing of our communities in the years ahead.
Awahono School, you are a wonderful example of a wholesome, hearty rural school community. The effort, enthusiasm and love that went into today’s celebration were evident everywhere we looked.
What a beautiful reminder that the relationships we build with animals help shape the people we become. ❤️
A huge WELL DONE to the children, families, teachers and everyone who made today so special. Special mention to those parents who towed the calf trailers in. We see you.
Thank you for inviting us to be part of it. We came away with very full hearts. 🥰
And please, please invite us back next year — we’ll be counting down the days! 🐾❤️
With love from us at Two Brown Dogs and a Cat 🐕🐕🐈
