“What I loved most about The Puppy Cup was meeting the rescue puppies, I genuinely wanted to take every single one home. The whole afternoon felt thoughtful without being overdone. Having a watercolour painted of my pup on the spot was special, and one can never have enough paintings of our fur children, and the dog communicator was the cherry on the top, there was not a dry eye after a session with the talented Wenni. This event was clearly created with heart and integrity.”
