companion animals

Animals have always held a special place in my heart.  Being an only child, I spent a lot of time alone growing up, and begged my parents for a dog.  They finally relented.  Thus started my lifelong relationship with animals, including dogs, then house rabbits, cats and of course our horse.  I was shy growing up and animals seemed to offer a quiet confidence in me.  Through the years, I've used my fundraising expertise to support a number of animal charities.  

Animals aren't just pets, they have been companions to me, and I've found a level of communication with them that is deeper than just "good dog," etc.  They have all become members of my family.

Four days ago Off the Leash posted a short conversation between Charlie Moores and campaigner and Off the Leash colleague Dominic Dyer on what he'd been doing to make it easier for refugees fleeing Putin's war on Ukraine to come into the UK with their companion animals. We were very critical of the UK government on that occasion, but Dominic is back with - thankfully - better news...

A short conversation between Charlie Moores and campaigner Dominic Dyer on what he's been doing to make it easier for refugees fleeing Putin's war on Ukraine to come into the UK with their companion animals. As we discuss, Ukraine is not rabies-free, but over a week ago the Vet Times wrote that "Officials in Romania, Poland and Hungary have made exceptions to peacetime restrictions on pets crossing borders as thousands, including many with animals, flee war-torn Ukraine". In Hungary, in order to ensure a smooth entry, the national chief veterinarian has ordered the completion of a simplified registration form.

Why are we so slow to help and what can we do about it?
