On Sunday, we celebrated our amazing service animals with the first ever Service of Thanksgiving in the UK. Hundreds came to @GlosCathedral and thousands joined online. It was poignant, moving, and reminded us of the remarkable service our dogs and horses give us. Our gratitude is endless - to The Dean of Gloucester and his cathedral staff; to the MANY handlers who came from all over the country from the services we support to be with us; to @AuraCareLiving for their kind sponsorship of the event; to the volunteers; to Newent & District Choral Society and the cathedral choir; and to everyone who joined us in person, or online. Our amazing ambassadors were there too; @nickyJphoto - @LlewelynBowen - @JLlewelynBowen - @Cat_The_Vet - as well as dear friends @PipTomson and @alexlovelltv and they were joined by Gloucestershire’s High Sheriff, - Dame Fiona Reynolds. Also thanks to our wonderful @CotswoldTV Tom, who has taken loads of footage - that’s for another post! A special thanks to @ASPolice who kindly brought two beautiful police horses to meet the public - it was very special to have them there, watching gently over the dozens of handlers and dogs from all over the UK. And our love and respect to @VicPictoria who took all these wonderful photos - they have made many memories for us. Victoria donated her time and massive talent to the charity, and we are so grateful and very lucky. If you’d like to see the service, it’s on Gloucester Cathedral’s Facebook and YouTube channels. We will, without doubt, do it all again next year! #thankyou #service #dogs #horses #charity














We are still reliving the historic and moving day we shared @GlosCathedral yesterday - there were 450 attendees at the service and now over 2,000 people have viewed the first ever Thanksgiving for Service Animals online, via FB and YouTube. If you haven’t seen it yet and would like to - here is the link. (Fast forward to about 9m 30s - we were a teeny bit late starting..) It was a beautiful service and experience. Again our huge thanks to everyone involved, we will never forget. Even better, The Dean has invited to do it again next year and we will! fb.watch/H0FilBNis8/?


As the hosts of this years @PoliceDogTrials it is fitting that @WestYorksPolice have a dedicated and successful local fund @FiresideK9 who support their retired dogs. An amazing charity,run by amazing people, providing invaluable support.If you can,pop a £1 in their bucket. ❤️🐾
