Sponsored Dog Walk 2003 .. Pictures !

The sun shone on a wonderful day in the foothills of the Wicklow mountains when ASH held its sponsored dog walk! ... we brought 12 of the dogs from the sanctuary and people also brought their own dogs. We were quite a sight as we walked what seemed like an endless train of dogs all around this beautiful area. Many many thanks to all our supporters - a great day was had by all and some badly needed funds were raised. Thank you also to the tea shop in the top car-park who gave us a discount on cups of tea for our supporters.

Here are some pictures from the wonderful day out we had:

Above Our lovely "Max" and his walker for the day ... Max had a wonderful time - many thanks !

A clever tri-colour collie who came along to support us (oh, and his owner of course!!!)

In the middle is our own "Pepe le puppy", being walked by the young lady in the white top, and taking up the rear is the wonderful "Princess" ... boy did these doglets enjoy their walkies ! .... many thanks guys !

Shades were a definate requirement as the sun blessed us with its presense !!
