George’s Update: Like a Superdog — But Knowing His Limits 🐾
2 April 2026
George continues to do really well and is looking better than ever — strong, happy, and enjoying life again. He has now reached his target weight of 31.65 kg and is maintaining around 32 kg, which has made a real difference to his mobility and wellbeing.
He’s also had some new experiences, including his first bus trip, which he handled beautifully. In many ways, he’s becoming a real beacon of recovery.
Recently, we made our way to a community meeting, with George and his mum running alongside my cycle. This worked well, with George taking turns riding in the cycle wagon and running, which he clearly loved.
At the same time, it showed that longer distances can still push his limits, especially in hot or cold weather. There’s also the need for constant vigilance with traffic, particularly cars coming out of driveways.
While cycling and public transport are helpful, they’re not always practical on their own. Having flexibility helps ensure George can stay active in the community without placing unnecessary strain on his recovery.
Thank you again, George's
Angel Whanau - for your continued support — it truly makes a difference.
