A Grand Day Out
On sunday 24th february over 60 people and many more dogs attended the Wilvery Inclosure nr Burley for the first of many Happy Dogs Sponsored Walks. The event consisted of a walk around either a short route or a longer 2 mile route, ending up with soup and a roll.

Fine weather and the thought of warm soup attracted many Happy Dogs supporters and some new supporters who were made very welcome. The event, some 4 months in the planning, was a total success with over £1000 being raised to support the work of the charity.

It is hoped to run future fundraising sponsored walks, they are enjoyable for the dogs as well as their adopted owners, and provides a great morning out with like minded people who care about dogs and their welfare.

Commenting on the day event organisers Kit Swaine and Danny Flaherty said " We were absolutely delighted with the response, we raised a significant amount of money for Happy Dogs and we are already planning our next event"

Lyn Williams Founder of Happy Dogs said " I would like to thank all those who came and help support the work of our charity, thanks to your support we can continue to help and re home abused and abandoned dogs, giving them a quality of life that would not be possible without our support"
