Puppies abandoned on Bonfire Night put spark into new families’ lives
but abandoned when their owners had second thoughts. Bamford, said: “Poppy has settled
in so
well, considering the horrible start to life she experienced. When we saw her, we knew we wanted to give her the loving home she deserved.” For Mylo’s new owner, Dave
Grandy, it was Boom, now Mylo, is enjoying his forever home.
Two puppies who were callously abandoned on Bonfire Night have got the new year off to a bang and have put the sparkle into the lives of their new families. The puppies, a Lurcher- cross who is now called Poppy and a Collie- cross now named Mylo,
were left in the cold in a park in Mountain Ash on Bonfire Night at nine weeks old. The rehoming centre suspect the pups were either bred to be sold as Christmas presents, only to be given up when no buyers could be found, or they may have been bought as pets,
puppy love at first sight. He said: “We knew Mylo was the dog for us when we saw him and we cancelled all plans order to visit the excellent Dogs Trust site. He’s settled in so well considering the trauma he was put through at such as young age.” Dogs Trust Bridgend rehomed
more than
700 dogs in 2016 and is expecting another busy year taking in unwanted dogs of all shapes and sizes in 2017. They
are reminding
people to remember that owning a dog is a lifelong commitment to avoid situations like this happening.
The owner of the Oriental Garden restaurant at the Red Dragon Centre in Cardiff Bay has presented Marie Curie with a significant donation this Chinese New Year. Restaurant owner Kitling Chan, donated the rather unusual sum of £2,888 for a very specific reason. In Chinese culture the number eight means ‘wealth and prosperity’ and the number two means ‘easy’. The numbers combined symbolise a path to wealth and prosperity without any obstructions - and to present the cheque to the charity on the 28th of the month, is deemed even luckier. Kitling, a Cardiff mother of three, is a long supporter of Marie Curie after the charity supported her and her family
after her late husband, Koon Fat Jim, was diagnosed with a rare form of skin stomach cancer and given just three months to live. Koon sadly passed away nearly twenty years ago, but Kitling has continued to fundraise, and raised an incredible £10,000 in 1998 which she donated to the Marie Curie Hospice Care in Penarth. She also raised an additional £3,000 two years ago. Sara Bass, Fundraising Manager for Wales for Marie Curie, which provides expert care and support to those living with terminal illness and their families at the Penarth hospice, said: “A huge thank you to Kitling Chan and the Oriental Garden restaurant for donating this generous and lucky amount to Marie Curie.
