Learning to crawl the down-to-earth way

Tom Hanson (9) teaches his 6-month-old boxer-Labrador-huntaway puppy Smudge to crawl, under the guidance of dog whisperer Belinda Culling during a fundraising fun day for dogs and owners at Forrester Park, Dunedin, on Saturday.

Dog Whisperer Services held its second annual dog fun day in support of the SPCA.

About 10 dogs and their owners attended the event, which raised $100 for the SPCA, organiser Ms Culling said.
