Guests staying at the Park Hyatt Melbourne in Australia have been greeted by the lovable blonde Labrador since he was hired to be the hotel's official Canine Ambassador in July.

Guests are encouraged to use the hashtag #BarkHyattmelbourne on social media to share photos of themselves with Walker. Here are some of the best canine candids.
