Mr Walker says Hello! |
A new permanent guest has taken up residency at Park Hyatt Melbourne this year. The appropriately-named Mr. Walker is an 18 month-old Blonde Labrador, and has been awarded the position as Park Hyatt Melbourne’s first canine ambassador. Mr. Walker was trained to provide assistance and companionship to people with low vision or blindness by Guide Dogs Victoria, the leading provider of Guide Dogs since 1957. From the age of eight weeks, Mr. Walker went to live with a volunteer Puppy Raising family, before returning to the Guide Dogs Victoria Campus to begin training as a working Guide Dog. It was decided that his larger-than-life personality was best suited as an ambassador dog, where his affectionate nature would truly be able to shine. Daily activities for Mr. Walker will include using his notable people skills to bring a new level of comfort at the hotel, where he will be able to greet guests with a warm, furry welcome. Guests will also be able to take their morning walks with Mr Walker or visit him at the hotel lobby, where he will be lounging on his custom-made Tasmanian Oak bed, and share their own photos of Walker by using #BarkHyattMelbourne |
