Did someone call for a DOGtor? We’ve got just the man for you. Dogtor Bruce is best in class when it comes to keeping you calm and relaxed.
Bruce is a qualified therapy dog and is a familiar face here at Warragul Dental Care. Bruce is the first dog in Australia to be registered as a dental therapy dog and is here to help nervous patients get the treatment they need.
Bruce was born on the 16 July 2017 and started training as a therapy dog at just 8 weeks old. He applied for the position from his native New South Wales and was chosen from a very competitive field of applicants. Lucky for us he was happy to move to the rolling hills of Gippsland and call Warragul his home.
Bruce was chosen for his impressive skill set, which include looking amazingly gorgeous, keeping fit and an ability to chew empty milk containers (with a preference for Gippsland Jersey of course).
He spends his days honing his therapy dog skills and going out with family members Belinda and Dr Anand to meet lots of new people. His favourite pastimes are feeling the salty air flapping in his ears at the beach and being bribed with chicken meatloaf. The Dogtor is a social animal, so if you see us around please say Hi and give a little ear tickle.
Bruce is a pretty switched-on fella and runs his own social media. You can follow him at @dogtorBruce on Facebook and Instagram. Woof.
