Today Australia lost a true fighter, a true gentleman and a true inspiration.

Neale Daniher was far more than a football legend. He became a voice for every family devastated by MND. A voice for hope. A voice for resilience. A voice that refused to give up, even when faced with one of the cruellest diseases imaginable.

MND is something that sits very close to our hearts at Bark with Buster.

Our co founder Jeannene Anchen lost her father to MND. It happened so quickly that before the family could even fully understand what was happening, he was gone. Like so many families affected by this horrific disease, the grief never truly leaves you.

Through our dog boarding business, Pet Stays Melbourne, we have proudly supported and donated towards MND awareness and research over the years because we know firsthand the pain, helplessness and heartbreak this disease brings to families.

What Neale Daniher did for the MND community can never be measured.

The awareness he created.
The conversations he started.
The hope he gave families.
The resilience he showed.
The way he kept fighting not only for himself, but for future patients and future families.

That is what made Neale a legend.

People like Neale can never truly be spoken about in the past tense because their spirit continues to live on through every life they touched, every family they inspired and every person they gave strength to during their darkest moments.

Rest well mate.

Australia will miss you physically, but your spirit, courage and legacy will forever live on in this country and in the hearts of everyone affected by MND.

Travel free.

And somewhere beyond this life, I am sure all those who sadly lost their battle with this dreadful disease would have been waiting at the gates to give you the hero’s welcome you truly deserve.

You were a hero here.
And you will always be a hero there too.

Rest in Peace Neale Daniher 🤍

Meet Sadie 🐾💛

We’re so excited to welcome this beautiful German Shepherd to the Pet Stays Melbourne family! Sadie has officially joined us for her daily walks, and what a joy she is to spend time with.

Strong, intelligent, and full of personality, Sadie absolutely loves her outdoor adventures. Whether we’re exploring leafy parks, enjoying a steady-paced stroll, or stopping for a sniff (or ten!), she makes every walk something special.

Daily walks aren’t just about exercise — they’re about enrichment, routine, and giving dogs like Sadie the mental stimulation and care they deserve. And we’re here for all of it ❤️

Thank you to Sadie’s wonderful family for trusting us with her care — we’re so lucky to be part of her routine.

🐾 P*e-mail for Dogs: Why Dogs Smell Each Other’s P*e 🐾

Have you ever wondered why your dog stops every few metres on a walk to sniff the same patch of grass or lamppost where another dog has been?

What may seem strange to us is actually one of the most important ways dogs communicate with each other.

At Pet Stays, we like to call it “P*e-mail.” 📬🐕

Dogs experience the world through their nose. With up to 300 million scent receptors, their sense of smell is incredibly powerful. When a dog sniffs another dog's urine, they’re not just smelling p*e — they’re reading a whole story.

From a single sniff, dogs can learn:

🐾 Whether the dog was male or female
🐾 The age of the dog
🐾 Whether the dog is healthy
🐾 If a female dog is in heat
🐾 Whether the dog is neutered
🐾 How long ago the dog passed by

It’s essentially the dog version of social media — checking who has been in the neighbourhood and what’s going on.

Dogs also leave their own “messages” by scent marking during walks, telling other dogs things like:

“I was here.”
“This is my territory.”
“I live nearby.”

That’s why sniffing during walks is so important. It gives dogs mental stimulation, reduces stress, and helps them understand their environment.

So next time your dog stops to sniff a tree, pole, or patch of grass, remember…

They’re just checking their p*e-mail. 📬🐕

And honestly, it’s one of the most fascinating parts of the dog world.

Meet Duke. What a beautiful Labrador he is and one of our new walking partners. We cared for his two brothers Lenny and Oscar for many years until they passed away. Duke has the best manners. Walks so well on lead and sits on command. It’s amazing living in Moonee Valley for years and still finding hidden gems to take a walk with dogs.

Some dogs walk into your life… and some dogs own it.

Meet Baci — our regular handsome boy, the Golden Retriever. Aka the Bradley Cooper of dogs 🐶✨

Mischief? Just enough.
Cheeky? Always.
Cuteness? Off the charts.
Good looks? Don’t even get me started.

Thursdays are our Baci days — and we genuinely look forward to them. There’s something special about watching that big golden energy start full of bounce and slowly settle into pure calm.

And then comes the best moment…

At the end of the walk, the lead is barely held — just looped around a finger. No pulling. No rush. Just trust. That quiet, satisfied “zen” energy that tells you the job’s been done right.

That’s the magic of a great walk.
Not just exercise — balance.

We love you, Baci. Beyond words. 💛
