Prime Minister Scott Morrison says his dog rubs shoulders with the best

Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s Buddy is a very special political animal. He does share the highest office in the land – and he is helping with a very good cause.

While he may have one of the hardest jobs in the country, Prime Minister Scott Morrison says his best friend is alway there to greet him at the end of his day.

“It is often said that dogs are a man’s best friend,” says the Liberal leader.

“Well, Buddy is a Prime Minister’s best friend.”

The beloved black schnoodle – a mix of schnauzer and poodle – appears in The Advertiser Foundation’s special edition calendar, 2022 Power Pets.

The calendar, which will raise money for Ronald McDonald House SA, also features Police Commissioner Grant Stevens, State Premier Steven Marshall, Mayo MP Rebekha Sharkie and Labor leader Peter Malinauskas.

Mr Morrison says his furry four-legged friend is a fiercely loyal companion no matter who’s company he may find himself in.

“He’s loyal, energetic and always up for a pat and a hug,” Mr Morrison said.

“Whether that’s from me, Jen and the girls, or even the heads of state he meets sometimes, our friends and extended family or the cricketers who come over each New Year’s before the Sydney Test, he’s not fussy.”
