Huge thank you to the team at @EdinDogCatHome who joined us at the Access Hub to train our staff in Emergency Doggy First Aid.
The room, all set up with willing volunteers excitedly awaiting the arrival of the team. A few were just getting a bit to excited! #bemoredog#oneteam

Punishing the vulnerable, not addressing the causes and getting in the way of those that care and have solutions! A measure of who we have as our leaders! We don't need to look to other shores to see abject cruelty, discrimination and deliberate harm here it is right here!
