Soma
(aka Taz)

The real Boss! 
Picture

Soma

Soma is a gorgeous staffie cross whippet (staffet or whippie), who was adopted from the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home when she was three and a half months old. She is an absolute whirlwind and loves her brother Blaise, beards and children!

She is a bossy madame at times and very stubborn so often gets her way, which is why we affectionately call her the real boss or 'head of household'. Soma moved to Malawi when she was one and a half years old, and lived there for four years. She had a lot of adventures and lovely holidays to places like Zomba plateau and Lake Malawi.  Her role with 
Bats without Borders is to keep us laughing and to take breaks away from the computer while we fetch her and Blaise another treat!
