A man that lives in our community has won the hearts and minds of every dog and its owner. He has set up an area in his driveway where there is a cooler filled with dog treats.

It’s also become a fantastic way for this man to get to know all of his neighbours.

You Can’t Be Trusted
Her name is Jas. She walked up to me at lunch and said, “This is the best one yet. I am loving MMMEvent this year.”
