HEL P YO UR F URRY F RI END S
by Bernadette Russell
Three years ago, unable
to resist it any longer
(I blame cute Facebook
videos) my partner
and I got an adorable
puppy. Although I'd
lived in Deptford for 20
years, our dog, Lola,
has introduced me to a
new community of
BE KIND to
WILDLIFE
dog owners, plus the
joys of early park walks
in all weathers.
LIFE LE SSONS
I think the human race
could learn something
about how to live from
dogs. Not the 'bumsniffing, rolling in poo,
eating mouldy chicken
off the street' parts,
but the loyal, loving,
joie de vivre way dogs
live. It made me think
about being kind to the
September 2016 BALANCE
birds, squirrels, foxes
and other creatures we
share London with, and
without whom our
lives would be poorer.
I started buying extra
dog food and donating
the tins to a food bank,
after hearing that people
in financial difficulty
can struggle to feed
their pets at times. I also
often take a bag of bird
seed to the park and I
bought a dog bed for our
local shelter.
G ET INVO LV ED
There are loads
of ways you can help
wildlife - visiting
your local city
farm, or leaving a
saucer of water out
in the winter. Plus,
remember to give
yourself time just to
stop and listen to the
birds now and again.
