Dog’s two dads: All go for Geoff’s global adventures


Continues from page 1. “Tomato Trouble is all about Geoff


and his best friend Sam who, on a hot Australian summer’s day, are playing in the yard with the sprinkler and, before too long, they grab the neighbour’s sheets off the washing line and plunge headfi rst into next door’s prize-winning tomato patch. It’s then up to Geoff ’s two dads to come to the rescue,” Mr Davies explained. While there has been much progress


made on the project, most of the characters still need to be animated, the pages need to be made interactive and there is still much testing to be done before the fi nished product can be seen on an iPad or iPhone. T e project’s developers have turned


to an online crowd-funding website, kickstarter.com, to begin a campaign to have the last phase of the project funded. T e website allows the project creators


to off er rewards in exchange for pledges of fi nancial support that will include signed Geoff prints and handmade plush Geoff dolls. While international stardom may be


beckoning for the pint-sized prodigy, he is already a bit of a megastar on the social networking circuit and in his hometown. “T e blog has defi nitely grown since


we started it, and there seems to be heaps of interest in Geoff on Facebook and Instagram – apparently he’s very big in Japan,” Mr Heads said. “He’s also a bit of a local celebrity


– everyone seems to know his name and he always brings a smile to people’s faces. “He’s, quite possibly, the most spoilt


dog in Newcastle.” People can pledge fi nancial support


to the project by visiting kickstarter.com and searching for Geoff and His Two Dads. T e deadline for pledges is Sunday, June 10.
