Dont know whether anyone has heard of this but i thought i'd bring it to your attention. I know a lot of people on here support Help for Heroes but for those of an animal orientated persuasion this is a very worthwhile cause.

It would be good to try and think up something to support them, if enough are interested??
Not all heroes will get one Kwak..just those that want one and need one to help them get through their daily grind. If anyone has ever read the book/seen the film Endal, then they'll get the picture
No offence taken Kwak. Its a very new charity and one i think is a little different to the others. Its a specific aide for a specific target. I think its a brilliant idea. I support HFH as much as i can and will be doing the RTTW this year(couldnt make it last year) and as you know, i love my animals. This way i can support both. I wont support the RSPCA as they dont do what they say on the tin, and i'd like to think my money is being spent on helping as many needy causes as i think deserve it. As the site says, ultimately they hope to rehabilite stray/abandoned dogs into the programme. Perfect i say!
That looks like a very good cause Dark Carnival. I have a couple of failed assistance dogs on my flyball team. Great dogs just didnt make the grade. We even have some disabled handlers who have assistance dogs who do the sport as a means of blowing off steam. ( the dogs that is)
Now that I know of this group I shall definitely make them a priority for any fund raising activities either through flyball or the fire brigade. Nice one for raising awareness !
