Don’t be fooled by the snowy fluff — Millie’s as much banshee as bunny. Holidaying like a jet-set heiress on Waiheke, this Westie runs strictly on Mum-only energy. One minute she’s waggy-cute, the next in full feral trance — doggy Prozac can only do so much.

Night terrors? Check. Umbrella phobia? Check. A lifelong vendetta against pigeons and big dogs? Double check. Campbell’s Beach nearly washed her away (trauma lingers).

Beneath the drama, an anxious little soul who greets guests with sticks and leaves, presented with a low, earnest purr — her version of fine china.

Obsessed with human food, territorial about birds, addicted to belly rubs and rolling in wet grass. Lovable, unpredictable, slightly haunted — entirely unforgettable. Sensitive? Yes. Sweet? Absolutely. Handle with care.
