We were invited to celebrate the launch of Dogs Trust Worldwide! The venue –
At the Victorian Bath House.
Who knew that in the middle of the city of London is a Turkish Bath House?
We invited Camilla to come along with us to learn about Dogs Trust Worldwide, 
But first, a drink.
I was not the only pooch at the event … 
There was four-month old French bulldog called Chips that had the nicest coat one could ever see! The owners said they use some of the best puppy shampoo for french bulldogs, so no wonder!
And this little fella! Didn’t catch his name.
I was eager to hear what they had to say.
They talked about dog issues around the world – not just in the UK, where we follow what they do.
I was listening intently and learning about some rather interesting projects that Dogs Trust Worldwide have going on.
They talked about helping to control dog population in some countries through a sterilisation programme. They also help to provide expertise to lesser developed nations. They educate children on how to behave with dogs, etc, etc. And yes, they work in conjunction with Soi Dogs – we support their work to eliminate the dog meat trade in Asia.
The topic that peaked my interest was Mission Rabies – their goal, to eliminate rabies by 2030! We dogs are not the only culprits. All warm-blooded mammals can carry the disease. It is just that we pooches have greater proximity to hoomans. That’s why we have rabies injections. We learn about how a boy in Malawi died from being bitten by a dog.I got to meet Luke who helps to run the programme. 
I met lots of Dogs Trust people who help with projects around the world.
but I also liked the hoomans
who walked around with food.
May I have some too?
May’s comment: We were invited to celebrate the launch of Dogs Trust Worldwide. We have been following and learning about their work since we first went to a Dogs Trust fund raising event at GOAT, one of our local restaurants that supports their work.
Love their mission statement –
“Working towards the day when all dogs can enjoy a happy life, free from the threat of unnecessary destruction.”
It was an interesting venue for the launch. Who knew there were Turkish baths in Bishopgate’s Churchyard for two centuries. The Victorian Bath House was designed by G Harold Elphick and crafted to appeal to the city folk. Located at 7-8 Bishopsgate Churchyard, London EC2M 3TJ

I’ve never heard of this organization, thank you for the information. Their mission speaks to my heart! And while I’m not sure about the ability to eliminate rabies, because of so many wild animals, I do applaud the work to eliminate the dog meat trade in Asia!
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing
I have always supported the Dogs Trust in the UK, but I have felt very disappointed in them when I read that they were one of the organisations that did not support the legal banning of puppy farms. I have not seen their explanation for this. In all other aspects they do a great job. Hope you enjoyed your day ❤️
