Meet our Pup of the Week, Nancy! 🐾
Nancy is one of our favourite four-legged visitors here at The Shy Horse. Friendly, social, and always ready to make a new friend, she'll happily stop by to say hello to everyone she meets.
When she's not making the rounds, Nancy's favourite hobby is keeping a close eye on what her humans are eating... and doing her very best to sneak a taste for herself! 🍽️👀
If you spot Nancy on your next visit, be sure to give her a fuss, but keep a close watch on your lunch! 🐶❤️
