Libby Crawford has just welcomed a new addition to her family - a bonny black Labrador pup called Malo.
The Christchurch-resident winner of The Block New Zealand says these summer holidays are going to be a little different as she and her partner factor in the 4-month-old purebred during trips away.
Fortunately for the talented graphic designer of creative agency Libby and Ben, Malo shows signs of adoring travel.
"He seems to love it and already recognises going in the car means going out and about for an adventure," says Crawford.
