Episode 1: Pascal Pienaar

Pascal is a proud pet parent of a brown Border Collie called Ned, and they are certainly not new to the camera. Pascal is an actress on the popular Afrikaans soap Binnelanders, where she plays one of the lead characters, Karli du Preez. Her dog Ned, is just as comfortable in front of the camera, posing for his own Instagram account @nedthecollie with over 600 followers.

Pascal adopted Ned as a little puppy of only 4 weeks old, and they have been inseparable ever since! The two dance, play and love traveling together.

Watch the video below to find out what makes their pet-parent relationship so beautiful!

Introducing Pet Parenting

One of the greatest rewards of being a pet parent is experiencing the stages of life your dog or cat go through. Knowing what to expect and doing right by your new furry friend will lead to a lifetime of special memories and moments shared together.
