I’m 86, I have two little china dogs that belonged to my mum, I look at them often when I think of my mum and dad and wondered where these characters came from, hence I googled Toby, Nipper and HMV and so ended up here! I was never allowed to have a dog when I was little but a few years ago I saw the plight of hundreds of dogs in Romania and the amazing dedication of Anna at Last chance 2 Life. Looking at the pictures of her ‘now rescued charges’ about 400 (now, 700) I couldn’t resist adopting a year old bitch who sort of Trogened her way into the rescue ‘camp’ inside her mummies tummy, she was called Muffin, but is now called Rosie because it gave me an excuse to use my mum’s name often, Rosie is by my side as we speak and I love her very much! I am now housebound to some degree since lockdown and Rosie has kept me smiling and sane in my old age. Marié Martin.

Five years ago i retired. What next ? I got enrolled as an Advocate and started to attend court. Very soon i came to learn that i am not made this profession. Then i turned to my first love of journalism & free lance writer. Here , I saw that profession of journalism was totally changed from pen to computer & camera. It is now an era of technology dominated test tube journalism. Suddenly one day a maggoty wounded dog fell down to my gate. His was breathing his last. I surprised why did dog fell to my gate ? Answer was love. It came to my notice that my son & daughter are very passionate to feed and care all stray anlmals specially stray dogs , puppies. This incident brought a spritual change in my life to serve stray, hungry, ailing dogs. Care their puppies. I do not remember any good work than this ever done in my last 60 years old life. They are my master & loveguru to transform me being human.
