Lola enjoys some Southbank sunshine

She may have been born on Halloween but there is nothing scary about this fluffy pooch.

Lola the caramel Cavoodle just celebrated her first birthday on October 31 and was spotted getting some pre-birthday exercise at Southbank on a sunny, spring afternoon.

Proud owner Rochelle Quantock found Lola in the Trading Post. She bought the puppy for her two daughters, aged eight and 11, who spoil her rotten.

Cavoodles are known for their friendly and outgoing personalities. They make wonderful companions, which makes Lola an ideal family pet.

Rochelle lives in the suburbs and said she enjoys walking Lola along Southbank because she likes the change of scenery.

“There are more things to see and do,” she said.

“It’s nice to meet a lot of people because they come up and pat the dog and talk to you about the dog.”

When Lola is not going on relaxing walks by the Yarra River, Rochelle says she likes to wreak havoc and destroy toys!
