Adorable Queensland family dog Joe has helped his parents list their Queensland house, and he’s not happy about moving from the property he’s called home all his life.

The property’s listing has been- begrudgingly, and with sweet humour – written in the voice of 13 year-old Joe, a beloved mixed-breed pooch who is his family’s pride and joy. His unique perspective on his days at 593 Upper Brookfield Road in Upper Brookfield is a sweet vignette of Aussie family life.

“I don’t want to complain, cause I’m a good dog, But OMG they’re selling my house! My parents did not consult me and I have lived here my whole life! Let me tell you about my house….,” the listing on Domain says.

Joe, on behalf of the vendors, explains that his bedroom is so spacious that he was able to share it with his owners (the main suite).

He basks on the decks during summer and curls up on his own couch in front of the fire in winter. Joe has undertaken some landscaping outside but feels he’s been given no credit.

“About the garden, she, my adoptive mother, spent over 25 years planting, weeding and admiring but did I get any thanks for digging holes and just trying to help?

“I’m really going to miss when they take me for coffee or pizza at the Hall down the road where I can catch up with my mates.

“I love my house. I hope the new people love it as much as I have. I wonder if they will have a dog?”

Agent Rebecca Harrison of Brisbane West Real Estate is handling the listing and said it was fun to try something a bit different in the world of real estate.

The property, which is not listed with a price guide, has four bedrooms, a salt-water heated swimming pool, a wood-fired heater and timber and stone detailing.

Expanses of glossy floorboards line the living and dining zone, which opens to a tree-view deck – one of four, for lounging, Joe style, in the sun.
