Last week was Poop Scoop week ( I thought that was every week) and Gateshead Council asked me to help publicise the problem.
So we rallied and organised a photoshoot with lots of our dogs and some volunteer handlers. Oh I was bursting with pride the guys behaved impeccably and despite their being an audience and 7 people from the council they never batted an eyelid and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Last year I visited all the councils aware that its OUR respnsibility to ensure we keep our areas dog friendly and open for us to enjoy. The fact Chester le street and Gateshead have come forward and not only welcomed the points brought forward they have actively acted on these points. In August we are launching a clean up ession with myself and hopefull a few others to raise money, awareness and of course clean up. The money raised will be the Kennel Club Charitable Trust to help fight for our canine rights a very unestimated and little known issue.
I was delighted to see the photo of Tash the superdog being used to front the campaign, oh how proud we are of ours guys
Check her out when the photo of page two comes on photo slideshow, more photos will be available later.
I look forward to working with Chester le Street soon and lets help to keep our dog areas available.
