Tora

VIP (Very Important Pooch)

Named after the rugged coastal gem of Tora in the Wairarapa, this speedy sidekick runs alongside surveyor Jack Thomson — and she lives up to her namesake. Wild, energetic, and made for the outdoors, she’s built to run.

Known as Tora the Explorer, she’s done it all: camping in the Tararua Ranges, flat-out sprints along the beach, and the occasional high-speed lap of the office (zoomies are serious business).

Much like the place she’s named after, Tora is all about open spaces, fresh air, and the thrill of the run — with just enough pause for pats before she’s off again.
