Australia, 2005

Film
Tess the old girl thumbnail image.

Charming story about the amazing Tess and how she went from lost dog’s home to breakfast around the Tan, RSPCA Million Paws Walks, holidays and even bumping into the odd celebrity. This much loved dog has become part of the family and enjoys nothing better than chasing trucks , barking at possums, and pulling clothes off the line. Spoilt she may be but everyone loves the old girl.
