Willow - Cork Nose

Hi everyone. Willow here again, 4 year old lab and what can I say - Thank you. Thank you for voting and allowing me to be your Cork Nose of Tralee. My family and I are over the moon, especially my no.1 fan Ian, he’s been telling everyone he meets that I won as he is so proud. 

I love everything about Cork, you’ll find me out exploring new and old places every chance I get. I hope to showcase some of my favourite things about Cork over on my Instagram @daisybooandfriends during my campaign to become the official Nose of Tralee. I hope by doing this I inspire Corkonians to go out there and see what Cork has to offer and for those not from Cork I hope this encourages you to come visit Cork with your dog.

A few fun facts about me: I LOVE swimming - you can’t get me out of the water, CARROTS are my favourite - I look possessed when you say the word and I love making friends - I have so many doggy friends and love every single one of them.

Thank you to Petsitters Ireland for bringing us on this journey and best of luck to all the Noses this year, we love seeing your posts and pictures.
