THE GLOBE-TROTTING POOCH

PUREBRED Maltese Vala was a Valentine’s Day gift from husband to wife and is possibly the best-travelled pooch on the planet,

The much-loved pet accompanied the couple — who have a four-year-old daughter — to more than 40 countries.

When they visited New Zealand they forked out an undisclosed sum so that Vala could stay on board his superyacht, in lieu of quarantine.
