It is with great sadness that we have to announce the loss of two of our old rescues.
ROB - The Legend
Rob's age was unknown but he would not be under 16 years old when he peacefully crossed Rainbow Bridge in December 2009
He came to us in 1999 and was a troubled soul, but he had a heart and character that made all his problems sink into insignificance. He was never an easy dog to understand and we soon realised that because of his many problems he could not be rehomed. But in his time with us he has worked sheep, assisted at our training workshops and seminars and helped people gain personal confidence on our courses. But one of Rob's outstanding qualities was his ability to understand and relate to children.
Few dogs are strong enough (and yes even crazy enough) to turn a herd of cattle in full flight and yet gentle enough to coax frightened and troubled children out of their shell.
Rob will always live on in our hearts and our memories.
