27/05/2022

Hello there Doggie Doers! It’s been too long. We just wanted to check in to let you know we haven't given up on bringing back the mardi gras for mutt & man that is the Doggie Do. Right now we're reaching out to see if you might be able to throw us a bone:
SPONSORSHIP
We are looking for potential sponsors to assist us with bringing the festival back. If you think you have a leads (pun always intended), connection or contacts who might be able to make that happen get in touch - Message, comment or mail.
INTEREST
We are also trying to guage the level of interest in reviving the event from tail-wagging to panting to play pose. Would you plan to come again if the event was on this autumn? Let us know in the comments.
Thank you folks and have a lovely weekend! 🐾

love the dogs of Dublin, especially Grizzly. ❤️🐶

“His name is Grizzly which doesn’t really represent him. We named him before we knew his temperament. I worked with the Guards for 25 years before I got him. I used to do shift work so I could never have a dog, but then I got the opportunity to become part of the k9 unit. There were eight places and 450 people applied. I was very lucky! We had a 16 weeks training and since then we live together. He comes home with me every night so we spend almost every day together. We are trained to find missing children and hiding suspects. He is not trained for drugs but if you hide in a shed he will sniff you out from a mile away. I have a daughter, she was eight when I brought him home for the first time. Me and my wive were very nervous, hoping that they would get along. I mean, he can look scary. He is a German Shepard and not a small cuddly dog, we were worried that she may be scared of him. But in just a few hours he had transformed from Grizzly to a small cuddly dog and ever since they love each other. I always say I have two kids: I have a daughter, and this is my son, Grizzly.”

PRESSING PAWS ON THE DOGGIE DO

It's been a hard decision but we've decided to press paws on the Doggie Do this year.

After three memorable outings which have brought many two and four-legged friends into our lives, we've decided to recharge before a return in 2019. We'd like to thank all our friends and supporters as well our partners Dogs Trust Ireland

We will be working on a triumphant return in 2019 and look forward to sharing details with you soon.

Last week we got the very sad news that our very first Dog of Dublin (2015) the wonderful Missi, had passed away. After a very rocky start in life, she lived to an impressive 17 years (that's 119 in human!) and enjoyed a bounty of love and care from Vivien Chanel & family. Her arthritis never held her back - she was too much of a fighter for that. We last saw her at our Isle of Dogs Movie screening (she slept through the whole thing!) Love and sympathy to her pack. We celebrate Missi, our friend... (photo credit Leo Byrne Photography)
