Paw-fect companions: Meet kiwi celebs and their furry best friends

From wagging tails to heart-melting puppy eyes, we meet some of the city’s most adored furry friends and the humans who adore them just as much. Join Chris Parker, Bree Tomasel, Karen O’Leary, and Simon Bridges as we meet their paw-some pairs and see the love they share with their pets.
Most people carry fond memories of their childhood pets, but for Chris, Mambo the cat almost scared him off from having furry companions forever.
“He would find areas of our house to scratch us at any given opportunity. My brother got stitches on his head and I fell down a flight of stairs. It was honestly traumatic.”
But ever since Chris and his husband Michael McCabe decided to grow their family and adopt Margot from their local SPCA, he has learned that the right pet can make a positive impact.
“I always have company, I’m always walking outside and she’s introduced me to a big community of people who also are totally mad about their dogs.”
