Dog owner, Clare, recently reached out to us to share a heartwarming story of how BorrowMyDoggy connected two dog lovers, bringing joy, companionship, and even a meaningful charitable endeavour into their lives.
Clare and Bobby’s story
“My Golden Retriever, Bobby, is walked by borrower, Neille. My other boy, Murphy, occasionally joins for a walk too but not too far as he's not so young anymore.
Neille aka Uncle Nellie joined BorrowMyDoggy after his granddog, Buster, the Labrador, went to live permanently with his son. After walking Buster three times a day, Neille felt quite bereft when he left.
Neille took retirement and wanted a canine companion to exercise with and I needed a walker for Bobby as my circumstances had changed considerably too. Thanks to BorrowMyDoggy, Bobby and Uncle Nellie became best friends. Neille will still take my older dog, Murphy, on a short trip as a treat if he is up to it and Buster occasionally who is also lame now too.
Before my Dad passed away he bought two Guide Dogs for the charity. I asked Neille if he would take part in the 100km during October walk with Bobby, in memory of my Dad. Neille was only too pleased to oblige.
Uncle Nellie and Bobby, with a few hundred metres from Murphy and Buster added too, completed the challenge in less than seventeen days and raised, with gift aid and offline donations an amazing £1,094.50. I am so proud of my BorrowMyDoggy friends.
I couldn't be happier, I've found a true dog lover that walks Bobby and also boards my two boys now if I need to be away from home. Bobby will be sending Christmas gifts to Uncle Nellie and Auntie Catherine, the biggest thank you to them both for all their help and true kindness throughout this last year.”
