Southbank’s athletic stalwart

The two-and-a-half-year-old, and very obedient, German Short-haired Pointer Zee may look a little fierce, but he is actually very friendly.

According to his owner Rory, when people walk by Zee some are put off by his looks, but he just wants to play with people.

“We usually take walks here,” Rory told to Southbank News as the pair strolled along Southbank Promenade. “Zee is a very social dog, he is friendly to people and other dogs and likes to play with them,” Rory said.

Zee will go for a walk every morning with Rory, who said he was a very well-trained dog, and “an athletic guy” who is a master at playing fetch.

Asked to describe his dog in one sentence, Rory said, “love of my life.” •
