Wenhao Li and Eleven take on Melbourne together

Since relocating to Melbourne from Brisbane to pursue his studies, Wenhao Li has found solace in the company of his 10-month-old Corgi, Eleven.

“A lot of my friends are still in Brisbane, so when I moved here I decided I really wanted a dog,” Wenhao Li told Inner City News.

Currently navigating the lively antics typical of puppies, Eleven finds the most joy in playful nibbling.

“He just bites everything at home. When I buy something new and put it out, he just thinks it’s his and bites it,” he said.

“I took him to the off-leash dog park and he was chasing the other dog’s feet trying to bite them – he’s so curious about everything.”

Having just finished his final exam, Wenhao Li is enjoying getting to spend more quality time with Eleven, particularly during their walks through Carlton Gardens together.

“When I was at university and felt stressed out about studying for exams, the only way that I would feel de-stressed would be with my dog. He’s a great study companion.” •
