THREE MORE FRIENDS TO MEET

Meet Patrick, Wally and Kevin

These three already know and love one another. Now there’s a whole coastal world to discover with Raffy!

Patrick, a chocolate dapple dachshund, on the left; golden, fluffy Wally in the middle; and little chocolate Kevin beside a ball on the right. All three wear collars and name tags beside the mangroves.
Patrick, Walter (Wally) and Kevin — three friends, ready for a new adventure.

DACHSHUND · PATTY / PAT / PATMAN

Patrick

A strange smell? Patrick’s nose is already at work. He follows tracks, looks for clues and stays close when a friend needs him.

And when it’s time to play, he’s just as keen to join in!

LABRADOODLE · WALTER / WAL / FLUFFY BOY

Wally

Wally pauses for a look before placing a paw somewhere new. He’s the oldest of the three, and sometimes he spots what the others have missed.

He still loves a play and a silly moment. When his friends need him, Wally goes.

DOXIPOO · KEV / BIG KEV

Kevin

Where’s Kevin? Already after the ball! The smallest and youngest dog bursts into a run, then launches right into the air for a spectacular catch.

But when someone smaller or more frightened needs help, Big Kev notices.

Patrick can find the clue. Kevin can get there in a flash. Wally takes a look at the way ahead. There’s time for all three to play, explore and look after one another.
