Ms Mirch said Bailey had provided happiness not only to their family but to the community.

“My favourite memories of Bailey is being able to take him with me to Bowenville State School for Story Dogs once a week. Story Dogs is a reading program where the students build confidence and enjoyment in reading to a dog that loves attention and lots of pats from the students,” she said.

“It is also a special time when we do hospital visits. The residents really love seeing him, and it helps them remember happier times of their past.

“We saw a very special side of Bailey early on, showing his caring, gentle and patient nature with our special needs child.

“Bailey is not only special to our family he is special to a lot of people. The Students of Bowenville State School where he visits once a week and the residents of Oakey Hospital where he visits once a month.

“It’s really a special time to see their faces light up when he enters a room.”

Second place went to 13-week-old french bulldog Lola.

Lola’s Owner Whit Chase said Lola had brought joy into their lives.

“She was eight weeks when she came into my life and my favourite memory with her so far would have to be when she fell asleep on her back after a big dinner,” she said.

“She loves to run around and play fetch with the kids, she’s special to us because she is helping mend a missing piece in our family.”
