SEVEN dogs taken for walks, sharing one navigation circle and one lead.
Have you ever tried managing seven dogs while maintaining a firm grip on them all at the same time during afternoon walks? Meet Lisa Singh, who will tell you all about it.
However she manages to do it – your guess is as good as mine! But picture someone having seven frisky and ferocious little dogs, snapping and snarling simultaneously at everything around them, but being navigated all at the same time by their master on a bicycle, trying desperately to keep them at bay.

And talk about someone with an absolute love for dogs – just wait until you see her. Lisa Singh, who lives at Leonora, is the proud owner of the seven dogs and daily takes them for afternoon walks around Leonora. Caring and compassionate, she dedicates most of her time and attention to keeping the dogs clean, well fed and absolutely out of harm’s way.
Her routine includes bathing and grooming them, cooking for them, feeding them and taking them for walks around the block. And believe it or not – it takes strong arms to control or restrain them when they really get going.

What a perfect manifestation of love for dogs. Cute as they might appear, there is nothing compromising about these dogs, so you’d better keep your distance like the schoolchildren who go to ‘Grannie’s shop near the Leonora sea revetment to get their afternoon snacks.
Lisa, a simple but petite young woman, has been rearing these dogs for the last three years. Even though she is still not sure of their breed, she is still mindful of having them procreate and raising quite a pedigree.
