The Museum Of City and Sea

Clifford, our class mascot, checks out the Paddy the Wanderer fountain.
The top part is for humans and the bottom part is for dogs!
On Friday 1st April we visited the Museum Of City and Sea as part of our Wellington study. We learnt about a dog, a little bit like Vino, who belonged to everyone.
Here is a photo and story about Paddy, the Wanderer from a Wellington newspaper.
