Hana and Gnocchi are two lovable toy poodles, each with their own unique charm and character. Hana, the smaller of the two at just 1.7kg, is a bundle of energy and personality. Her adorably crooked tail gives her an unmistakable flair, and she’s a star pupil in obedience class, always eager to learn new tricks. Hana has a big appetite for treats, and she’ll happily perform any trick or strike a cute pose in exchange for a tasty reward. She’s quick to show off her smarts and keeps everyone on their toes with her playful antics.

Gnocchi, the rescued poodle, is slightly larger than Hana but just as sweet. While she had a tough start in life, her resilience shines through in her affectionate nature. Gnocchi adores people and is a master cuddler, always seeking out snuggles and attention. She’s a bit more sensitive than her sister and often turns to Hana for comfort and reassurance, making them an inseparable pair.

Together, Hana and Gnocchi are always ready for an adventure, whether it’s a weekend staycation, a visit to dog-friendly cafes, or a fun playdate with their furry friends. Their bond is so special that it inspired me to create the Small Dogs of Melbourne group, which has since grown to 1.8k members—just proof of how much love and joy these little poodles spread!

Whether they’re learning new tricks, cuddling up together, or exploring the world, Hana and Gnocchi remind us all that life is better with a little poodle magic.
