Dog day morning

I had the great pleasure of opening the Great British Dog Walk at Stowe Gardens on Sunday 4 June. I was invited by Hearing Dogs for Deaf People to do this.

Dogs of all sizes, shapes and temperaments were present. It was a fine sight to see everyone lining up, having registered at the tent as they arrived

The organiser, Michelle Sapwell, has told me they had 362 walkers and 207 dogs! There is some more money to come in but at the moment approximately £3500 has been raised! Which is fantastic! (This is clearly a very well organised charity based near Princess Risborough which is providing about 800 dogs to people at the moment. It has a turnover, I was told, of around £8m)

There are more (and brilliant) pictures of the event here, thanks to David Moore. He also took the one below as well. Thanks!
