Lorna said “Bendle and I love coming to the Dogs’ Big Day Out; it’s a fun event and great social day for us both.

The walk is a lovely start to the event and Bendle especially likes having a go on the agility course.  There’s plenty to do and we like browsing the stalls.”

Bendle, named after Hospice founder and Lorna’s mother Alice Bendle also is the Alice House pet therapy dog and visits Hospice patients every week.
