Meet Billy 👋
Billy moved from Bristol (South England) to Banff in September 2023 after seeing a friend living here and wanting to mix life up a little!
Growing up Billy had two little pups Rocky (Bichon) and Lily (Sh*tzu) - both the loves of his life! Sadly, Rocky passed away last summer from old age but a core memory for Billy is picking him up in Wales and driving home together in the back seat all those years ago. He was the first dog Billy ever had so he was a very excited kid.
Before working here, Billy thought some dogs were just a little quirky or funny but didn’t realize the extent of how different and unique each individual pup’s personality really is, which has been one of his favorite experiences.
His most memorable moments so far are when shy dogs warm up to him, for example little Jackson who takes a little longer to trust new people - especially men - and one day Billy was sitting on a box in the yard and all of a sudden Jackson hops up and sits right next to him for a while - which was a super special feeling for Billy!
Outside of work, Billy is a fan of all the mountain classics, such as snowboarding, skating, bike rides and everything in between! He also loves being lucky enough to bump into the local daycare pups out and about in town - and extra happy when they recognize him 🐶
