Early in the year when I read the Spanish Royals were to visit the Queen at Windsor and I contacted my friend Polly Matthewson of Podenco Alliance about it, suggesting a demonstration, I had no idea how it would grow. So thanks to Polly, Martin Podman French of Podenco Support South West, Dawn Karen Walker (Manchester March) and Irene Allen (Glasgow March) for taking up the idea and developing it to the marvellous day we all had on 1st May 2016 publicising the suffering of the Spanish hounds and showing what marvellous pets they can make. Herewith my photos from the March in Manchester – sadly it rained but didn’t dampen the spirits and we handed out lots of leaflets about the plight of the Spanish hunting dogs. (Spot me on the left holding the big banner!) The London organisers handed in a petition to the Spanish Embassy and also No 10 Downing Street.

This is great and look at all the lovely dogs supporting too. I am so glad that it went well. Will there be any protests next year, as I would like to support if I am able to. A big well done to everyone and I hope more people are now aware of the plight of the Spanish hunting dogs.
Thanks for the link to my blog and commenting on it.
Great effort by everyone, especially those of you in the rain. Some very chiquely dressed dogs there though. Mine are not fond of rain.
