ROYAL BRITISH LEGION’S – POPPY APPEAL

,

HELP FOR HEROES FUNDRAISER EVENT

The Help For Heroes fundraiser held on October 29th  raised a total of £350.

Capt. Gary Rutherford of the 1st Military Working Dog Regiment from St George’s Barracks gave a very interesting talk about the important role working dogs play in the military and his own experiences of 20 years service including tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Gary covered the breeds used for different purposes and stressed that wherever possible retired dogs were re-homed, usually with their former handler but civilians can also apply to adopt a retired dog. If you are interested in re-homing one you could contact Gary.

Gary’s colleague Stacey brought along his retired working dog Bodo a Malinois (Belgian Shepherd) whose very affectionate nature in licking and fussing with some of the audience belied his previous role as a ‘bite’ dog!

A very big thanks to all who attended and made donations. The finger food afterwards was tasty and plentiful. A most informative and eye opening evening.
