"One day around 7/8 years ago, my Nana Chris took me down to my Great Aunty Carol’s house to walk a Shetland pony as I was petrified of dogs..and I mean absolutely petrified. I use to to scream even if there was a dog across the road from me. So off we went Nana, Carol & Jupiter the pony. Then, Nana asked Carol if she would get one of the greyhounds out as they are gentle and not scary at all. But Aunty Carol brought out little Rosey, her cross breed lurcher type dog who was rescued from the streets of Ireland. Before I knew it I was walking Rosey around the lanes and wasn’t scared of her at all. Gradually, I went down to Carol’s house and got introduced to the greyhounds, then the older Leo’s until I was able to not be scared at all. It’s taken quite a few years to build up my confidence around them but these past 3/4years have been the best and the dogs have become my best friends and so important to me. It’s given me a massive hobby and who knows what I would be doing right know if it wasn’t for them! Although I’m still unsure around barking and growling dogs I’m proud of how far I’ve come and being with the dogs has made me experience things I never thought I would. Such as going abroad showing, training, working and meeting lots of new people and dogs. I could never done any of this without Carol and of course Rosey & all my other favourite dogs!❤️From being the young, small 7/8year old I was to being 16 I’ve gained so much & met so many friends x"
