Sue Green and her well-known JOY Dogs paid a visit to the West Rand Study Centre earlier in April, giving the children an opportunity to interact with and learn about these furry stars of many a TV advertisement.
The dogs, Jade, Orion, and Yoyo, had the time of their lives performing tricks for the children and, of course, getting as much petting and love as any dog could ever want.

Sue’s presentation included information about proper pet care and responsible pet ownership.
She also showed the children several items knitted from the dogs’ hair, of which this particular breed has a lot.

The JOY dogs are Old English Sheepdogs, and are very rare in South Africa.
“They love interacting with the children on our various educational shows at schools and study centres, and never get tired of all the love and attention they receive.”
At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!

He cut his teeth at the Roodepoort Record and Northside Chronicle as proofreader, swiftly progressing to junior journalist. He later joined Randfontein Herald as journalist and eventually worked his way up to becoming editor. During his years away from Caxton, he fulfilled journalist and editor positions for various industry publications at the once mighty Malnor Media House right up to their closure in 2019. This position saw him traveling all over the world on writing assignments. Since 2019, he has worked as a freelancer for various publishing houses, and had a year-long stint as senior editor for a large stable of retail and medical B2B titles, until rapid growth of his own small business required his fulltime attention. At the end of 2023, with his own business now fully staffed, Johan decided to dedicate himself to his first love, working as a local journalist for the good of his community.
