While the Bondi Vet, Dr Chris Brown may not be smarter than a fifth grader, he came very close, winning $250,000 for the pups at Assistance Dogs Australia in Rove’s Channel Ten show Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? last Monday night.
This is the largest one off donation Assistance Dogs Australia has ever received, so as you can probably imagine the pups are thrilled!
A big thank you to Dr Chris and all his studious 5th grade helpers, Dylan, Liam, Lily, Maddie and Oliver and a big hand of appaws for his cute and cuddly puppy helper.
As an Assistance Dogs Australia puppy in training, the puppy featured on the show will eventually undertake tasks that are difficult if not impossible for people with physical disabilities to undertake – tasks such as opening and closing doors, answering the telephone, retrieving dropped objects and even getting bottles of water from the fridge.
With the money Dr Chris won, Assistance Dogs Australia will be able to train 10 more puppies, so they will eventually be able to give freedom and independence to people with physical disabilities.
