Today is International Dog Day \u2013 and to celebrate we have a \u2018paw-some\u2019 little tale of puppy love to share!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Maverick the resident therapy dog at Carinity Education Rockhampton is a specially trained Tamaruke that provides the \u2018paw-fect\u2019 pick-me-up for students going through a rough patch.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaverick has had a wonderful effect on our students. If a child is upset Maverick will come and sit with that child and get close so they can share a comforting hug if the student wants to,\u201d said Carinity Education Rockhampton Principal, Lyn Harland.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only does Maverick play an important role at the school, he also visits local aged care residents and undertakes other engagements within the wider community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following months of specialised training, the two-year-old canine began visiting the Carinity Shalom aged care community<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n

Carinity Shalom\u2019s Activities Officer, Donna Hinchliffe, says residents of the seniors\u2019 home love visits from their four-legged friend who brings them comfort and joy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe residents just love Maverick and look forward to his visits. Their faces light up when they see him, and their smiles are priceless. It is so heart-warming to see, and the staff love being around Maverick too,\u201d Donna said.<\/p>\n

Maverick was gifted to Carinity Education Rockhampton by Singleton dog breeder Tamaruke, which has genetically developed the breed over the past 30 years specifically to be companion animals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are smart, intuitive, and easily trained. Their exceptional traits make them such wonderful therapy dogs, comfort dogs, assistance dogs, medic alert dogs and comfort dogs,\u201d\u00a0Tamaruke\u00a0Manager Monique Buckley said.<\/p>\n
