CRONULLA - In a comeback no PR strategist could have predicted (or endorsed), Trevor the Dachshund has re-emerged from his Far Kurnell self-exile and secured his first influencer collaboration - with Stapletons Butchers, of all places.

Witnesses say Trevor entered the store “with the self-importance of a politician touring a small business for the first time,” sniffed every cabinet with expert-level arrogance, and pitched himself as the natural ambassador for meat trays.

After posing for several photos and briefly attempting to host an IG Live from atop the deli counter, Trevor secured his first-ever influencer deal - allegedly because no one knew how to gracefully remove him from the premises.

His payment? A full meat tray.

Cronulla locals say this is Trevor’s strongest rebrand to date. After the Skeeta’s fiasco, the ankle-nipping allegations and the brief but concerning period where he considered becoming a Kurnell wellness coach, the peninsula appears relieved to see him stabilising.

His next move? Giving the whole thing away.

In a surprising twist, Trevor is giving away his entire influencer payment to one Shire Gazette reader - claiming it is “time to give back to the people who stood by me during the ankle-nipping allegations.”

Jess, cautiously optimistic about this upward turn, told the Gazette she is “impressed but waiting to see if this generosity is sincere or simply a tax strategy.”
