Balloon-loving dog local star

I caught up with Leamington celebrity dog and balloon-lover Misty on Wednesday morning last week, out for a walk with her owner Nicole Mackenzie and sister Bella.

Nicole said seven-year-old Misty has been heavily into balloons for the past five years, and she always has a bag on hand for the pooch.

Over the years, Nicole said hundreds of people have stopped to take a photo with Misty, who seems to have the effect of making people smile.

If you have a photo of your pet doing something cute that you’d like to share, please email it in to [email protected]. Because who doesn’t love an adorable pet?
