Mallee Family Care has celebrated the birthday of a very important member of the group, Wellbeing Dog Winnie.
The Australian Cobberdog has celebrated her first birthday on Friday with doggy treats and cupcakes.
MFC CEO Teresa Jayet wished Winnie a very happy birthday and acknowledged the joy, comfort and support she brings to the Mallee Family Care team.
Mallee Family Care is one of the first community and family service agencies of its type to introduce a Wellbeing Dog program, which Ms Jayet said was driven by evidence-based research.
Winnie currently works part time hours and these will gradually increase as she develops further.
