Official visit to Canine Partners


Thursday 27th,

We visited Canine Partners again yesterday for ‘official’ photoshoot, when they could get the camera to work. Tony was as taken with the place, people and dogs as I was the week before. Everyone is happy and enthusiastic in their work and so grateful for what we’re doing, it’s a lovely atmosphere. We met Allen whose wife runs the puppy training and his dog Endal has won many awards including the canine equivalent of the ’George Cross’ for bravery. He put Allen in the recovery position when he collapsed, covered him with a blanket and activated the emergency phone. He also can work a cash point, pin number and all!!!! You can visit his website on:

We had hoped to get some interest from the media which would have helped us to reach our target amount, but this has not been forthcoming, so maybe our expectations are a little high. However we will endeavour to continue towards this amount as this is such a worthwhile charity and both Tony and I feel this is the beginning of a long association with them. If anyone has any suggestions please let us know.

Hi team

Endal just wanted to bark his support for all your efforts, every penny that comes into Canine Partners makes such an amazing and incredible difference to a disabled person's life. Take care and safe journey
