A mane fit for a master

By Tamara Clark

Mozart gets stopped regularly because his mane looks like fine art.

The nine-year-old Bichon Frise loves to play chasey with his owner Christine and together they are both huge fans of ball games.

Christine’s enthusiastic little friend has been trained immaculately and knows to walk around carrying a tiny basket in his mouth when he wants to be given treats.

While his happy face doesn’t show it, Mozart has been through quite a lot and still has a patch of short hair on his back leg from ACL surgery. This was the second time he has suffered this injury and Christine said it is common in this breed of dog.

Mozart is a fitness fanatic and keeps the humans in his life on their toes. His favourite places to walk are around Docklands, especially by the water. Christine makes sure to commute around the suburb every day she possibly can because she knows how much the fresh air, ex- ercise and outdoor aromas can make Mozart’s day!
