affinity with the breed. tt wasn't that I was looking to work with adg_g rescue group that didn't do good for other kinirls of does - mvatttnrty fbr cocker spaniels, and my wife, too, made us bolh wantto go that

9Tt-ra miJg, because your mind goes to that place where,

!eye1 forbid anything bad ever happens io my dog, ri,hat woutd fdo? How could I be there for othei dogs less-fortufiate? We giveup absolutely eyeprtli1e we can for dracie,s happiness Uutltregives us so much back in retum. It never feets like'a sacrifice."

, Owain and Lucy have been huge supporters of Camp CoikerLcampc_ocker.com), a local cocker spaniel rescue, and its foundeqCathy Stanley.

"This woman is an absolute saint. She spends her whole lifededicated.to rescuing mainly

-spaniels. She prills these dogsout oihorrible situations - whether they've been abandoned or ill-treated.We've, workld toge-th-er where we identified a breeding farm i;;spariels in a Burbank backyard. We got Animal Servicejonto themand they prosecuted them-and shutihem down, and ttey iisiu"ithese dogs that were just treated honibly. Cathy has solnt evervhour and every penny that she has rehibilitatini these, does anitaking them to the vet and just giving them a life in her own"home.A1 uly given time'she has a dozin or-more dogs at her rescue, moiiof which have to be boarded at a costly pricel tUy aa.iratiirn foisomeone like Cathy is without limit. She'does the best she can butit's. very difficult because they are a non-profit organization thatrelies totally on donations.

-She also s'ells the" pooch potw

(poochpotty.com) - artificial grass pet pottys good for training tha:tworK rndoors or outdoors,.and are great for patios and apartmentdwellers. She has this business to try to generate extra revenue tokeep her rescue going."

, "Last year.m.y wlfe and I worked with a dog named Maddie,who was found abandoned by the side of the roadl She was totalrvparalyzed

in her back legs.

-

We think she was about ,"u"n u*.',old - a gorgeous golden cocker spaniel just left for dead. SnJ *",taken to Carhy. We've done swih rehibititation with Maddie andwe've worked non-stop rryith her. Now she's about to Ue aCoptea

Td go to Canada. While- .she's not fully recuperated in her legs,she s prob.ably Tgy2mobile in her back'|"g, ,io*, which for rfre,makes it all worthwhile. yes, it costs a lot df money and it costs alot of time with the swim rehab and what have you'. Most peoflewould say, 'why would you bother for one dog?'-lt,s not about hbw

Tany jgel you can help., ir's about giving aluality of life to oneoog. I nat to me rs worth as much as trying to rescue hundreds ofdogs. lf you c_an make one dog happ!, o:ne dog at a til;,-ih;;makes me very happy."

Owain and Lucy have also fostered dogs for Cathy. .,Obviously

we have to accommodate Gracie, and sometimes the dogs just don'ton," says Qnain. "But our view is that it's a great way*io socialize

new dog. When -we got Gracie she was always around people,consequently she's extremely happy around people but noi so margqnd other dogs. lve qadC it a-rirission to git hir out to the parkget her out with other dogs. lnitially you [et that little teniion thappens between dogs, but now she's- so iuch more confidentaccepting- with other dogs. It takes a bit of the workload offcathy whelping Gracie."

"You role the dice every time you get a dog but I,m a firm beliethat what you put in, you get out. Aianimal-for me is a verv simequation - you put a lot of good into an animal they'll senerillv syou.a lot 9{SoqO back. Even if they've been in a v6ry Uid plac6. "

workcd-with a dog that was very bidly treated - he'dbeen i nght athat had turned out to be pretty good financially for his owner,

-yet tacid thrown all over him. This poor dog wai a mess, physicittvhelped wifh a lot of vet fees to help renibilitare him iJ niu"h iigoqld, and what I loved about this dog was that in spite of all ofbad that he had received at the hands 6fhuman beingi, ifyou showthis dogsome time and some love - I'm talking likja week ortwalready Fil *ql a diferent animal.

Inot understand people who will take out their violence and fiiritration animals. That for me is probably the most unjust and nonsensiventing of frustration and anger thit I could ev6r imagine.
