Hazel is a soft, cuddly Australian Labradoodle and one of the nicest dogs on the planet. She is named after a tree because her owner is a retired tree trimmer. Hazel loves family hugs, walks and cuddle time. She is also good at catching frisbees. As a puppy, Hazel stole a piece of broccoli from a desert tortoise, and the tortoise bit her! It was a lesson in how territorial a tortoise can be. Now Hazel sticks to snacking on BBQ. Hazel has attended basic dog obedience and therapy dog training from the first day she came home. She is an exceptionally loving dog, and her owner feels very fortunate to have her as his animal-assisted therapy partner.
