Coco the spoodle

Coco is a cocker-spaniel x poodle with refined taste buds.

His owner Michael feeds him a diet of raw chicken and vegetables from regional farmers’ markets in Williamstown and Altona. 

Coco wasn’t quite camera ready – Southbank News caught him right before his bath, having a grand time getting grass and dirt on his paws in Boyd Park.

“He’s a great companion because I live by myself,” Michael said as he watched Coco chase after a ball. 

“He loves being free.” 

Asked to describe Coco in one sentence, Michael said he was “unique” and a great judge of character, both of people and of other dogs. •
