Rashford

Assistance Dog

Rashford was originally a UK dog but moved with his family to Australia in 2024. Anywhere Hat goes, he follows. He’s a five-year-old (in 2026) spoodle.

During your assessment, you’ll likely see Rashford poke his head up to say hello or settling in his designated seat in Hat’s office.

Outside of working life, Rashford loves visiting the beach, playing with ball and having plenty of cuddles.
