What's up dog?

Baloo is a fully qualified medical alert assistance dog. She is GHAD approved (QLD government approved and PAT tested). Baloo pre alerts 3 to 5 minutes prior to when her handler is going to have a seizure. She does this with her super sensitive nose by smelling a chemical change that occur in the body prior to a seizure. To alert her handler and other around of the oncoming seizure she then barks.

On behalf of our TOPDOG team at people2people, thank you to everyone for entering the 2023 edition of OZTOPDOG.

This year's campaign has been an absolute treat to watch, and we are thrilled to have shone the spotlight on the postitive impact dogs can make on our mental health, in and our of the workplace.The last few months have been about celebrating our furry best friends and shedding some light on their paw-some work.

While each entry was uniquely different, the one thing they all had in common was that having your tail-wagging pal around had helped improve your mental health.
