Inspiration for Dawn Until Dusk Charity Event

August 24, 2010

The dawn until dusk dog shoot has been planned for approximately 2 years though it finally comes to fruition tomorrow.

As a young boy, i can always remember cycling along a disused railway track nearby home and stopping for a rest at one of the bridges.  It was only then that I heard what sounded like whimpering cries.  I had no idea what the actual noise was yet decided to investigate further and left my bicycle and climbed down the banking to the stream below.  The sounds and apparent cries grew stronger and stronger as I made my own tracking being guided by the cries.  At the edge of the stream I found what appeared to be an old sack that had been tied at one end.  I fortunately managed to untie the sack and inside discovered three hungry, wet puppies that had obviously been dumped in the sack and thrown down the banking towards the stream !  The look on their faces will remain with me to this day as I huddled them into my pullover and made my way back to my bicycle.  After donating my last kit-kat biscuit to them that I had with me they were snuggled into my pullover and with their three heads popping out, I cycled back home.  I wasn’t allowed to keep them! Though they were safely transported to one of the dog rehoming centres the next morning.  How anyone can commit acts like this is beyond me, though unfortunately it happens all too often.

Tomorrow, you’ll be able to follow the exact timings via Twitter and Facebook courtesy of the Dogs Trust, so keep an eye on the sites of www.facebook.com/PawsPetPhotography and www.twitter.com/PawsPhotography for any variations from the stated timings.

We have also decided to add in one or two prizes that will be decided after the event as shown below: Earliest Riser Dog, Best Groomed Dog, Cuddliest Dog, Pick of the Rescue Dogs, Waggiest Tail, Dog I want to Take Home   Look forward to meeting you all tomorrow, Paul Walker
