Happy to the best boy, Arthur! We are so lucky to have such a rare wild dog in our little zoo. Only a few hundred New Guinea Singing Dogs exist worldwide in human care, and even fewer are believed to still roam the wild in the remote mountains of Papua New Guinea.

Come visit Arthur at CPZ soon and in the meantime drop us a pic of your pupper in the comments!

Did you know butterflies enjoy fruit juices? As summer blooms begin to wane, consider adding slices of overripe fruits to your butterfly garden.
