Debbie Shuttleworth is a proud mom to Coco, The Daring Dachshund—a fearless little adventurer with a heart full of joy. Their journey together began when Coco first arrived from Johannesburg, and from that moment, the two became inseparable companions. Known for my philosophy of “not letting the grass grow under my feet,” I have embraced life as a canvas of endless adventure, with Coco by my side every step of the way.
Together, we explore forests, enjoy flyfishing trips, set off on girls’ weekends, and dive into new experiences without hesitation. Through our travels and stories, I capture not only the adventurous spirit of Coco but also life lessons of courage, confidence, and living fully in the present.
Passionate about inspiring others, I created Coco, The Daring Dachshund—a storytelling project combining true adventures, photography, and whimsical cartoon characters to spark imagination in children and encourage families to embrace the joy of everyday adventures. Each post and story serves as a reminder to live boldly, create freely, and see life as a fresh canvas waiting to be painted.
At the heart of my work is a message of connection, resilience, and fun: through Coco’s eyes, both children and adults are invited to rediscover the wonder of the world and the art of living life to the fullest.
