Gilly loves hanging out in Docklands

When Scott Brady travelled to Skipton eight years ago to look at kelpie pups for sale, Gilly left the litter and sat quietly beside him.

“She chose us rather than us picking her,” Scott said.

Gilly was part of the family when Scott moved to Docklands.

“Moving to Docklands with a dog was a great way to meet and interact with others,” he said.

Gilly is now well known in the precinct and is often seen tied up out the front of restaurants and bars on Merchant Street. She loves nothing more than getting pats from locals and playing with other dogs in the neighbourhood.

Scott said Gilly is very social and enjoys her time interacting with other canines although she can take a little time to warm up to new friends.

One of her favourite pastimes is relaxing on the grass by the harbour.

“I believe we are so lucky to live in such a great area with so many friendly people around,” Scott said.

‘Having a dog gives you a reason to get out and about many times a day and interact with others around.” •
