Mochi 🐾
《麻糬老師

Therapy Dog in Training

  • Born on February 15, 2025, Mochi is a fluffy Toy Poodle with a big heart and a tiny bark.

  • Joined the Play Mandarin team in April 2025 as our official “emotional support intern.”

  • May 2025: Passed his temperament test with flying colors and is now officially enrolled in the PAWS Therapy Dog Training Programme!

  • Loves: belly rubs, ear scratches, naps in sunbeams, and spotting snack holders from across the room 🍗

  • You’ll often find him at the classroom door, cheering students on with his eyes (and sometimes a little happy dance).

  • Mochi’s dream? To become a certified therapy dog and bring calm, confidence, and cuddles to every child learning Mandarin.
