Best Friends! September 4, 2008
Posted by Jonny Mitchell in : Stories , trackback
We can see the wonderful friendship between a boy and his dog from this picture; however, not all boys would be willing to save their pocket money and donate it to the Animal Sanctuary. Also, not all parents would be willing to see the money raised, and double it from their own pockets. This, we’re honoured to say, is exactly what the Davidsons have done, making the Sanctuary £309.00 better of!
We were so touched by this act of kindness we asked for a photograph of Alex with Pippin, in order to tell the story of his generosity. Below is the beautiful letter we received in reply.
Please find attached a photo of our son, Alex and our Kerry-Blue Terrier, who we renamed Pippin (known as Kerry whilst staying with you). You have our permission to use this photo for your next edition of the newsletter and on the website.
With Pippin being dark and quite hairy (although she had a haircut a few weeks ago), it’s difficult to capture her expressions, however, I hope this photo reflects her as being a much loved and spoilt little princess! As a family we still can’t believe our luck that we found such a good natured dog, bearing in mind that Kerry Blues are supposed to be quite aggressive. Since we re-homed her in November 2006 we have never regretted it, she immediately became an integral part of our family. It doesn’t bear thinking about that if it was not for the Sanctuary she would have been put to sleep at Lisburn Pound. It is for this reason that we continue to support all the work you do there. Aside from making donations we also foster Amy the Staffie and only for the fact that Pippin is a bit jealous and Amy doesn’t like other dogs, we would dearly have loved to have re-homed her.
Keep up the good work. Give our best to Margaret and Shane. We’ll see you all soon.
Best Wishes,
Bobby, Sandra, Alex and Pippin Davidson
