When I asked Charlie’s mum to describe him in one sentence, her response made me burst out laughing – “lovable doofus”. It sums him up perfectly. He also happens to be insanely good looking and photogenic – throughout our shoot it was like he was travelling with his own personal fan, gently wafting his fur in the breeze.

Believe it or not, Charlie was found wandering the streets of Melbourne as a stray by the RSPCA! They took him in and it wasn’t long before his mum (who works there) fell head over heels for him. She had lost her beautiful senior girl Daisy and was looking for another Goldie to bring into her home. Charlie just LOVES people, and gets to go to work with his mum every day. He also helps out at RSPCA education events and has even appeared in the Herald Sun! Despite all the attention, Charlie remains humble and has simple goals in life – pats, treats, and a comfy bed.

Thank you so much to Sally for having me photograph your beautiful doofus, he is the absolute best and a true charmer!
