Wendy the Auggie is just 11 months old and is very full of energy, she’s always ready for any adventure or a play session. She loves her sister dog Wanda the most, but enjoys playing with every dog and person she meets. When she’s not herding, running and worming around the house, she’s quite the cuddly little dog.
Congrats to Wendy and her very proud owner!
