Whitey was brought to the very first ‘Steri Drive’ Sidewalk Specials held in De Doorns over eight years ago!
We remember as her mom was a whole day late to pick her (and China) up and we ended up having a mangey little sleep over with them at our accommodation.
When their mom finally arrived to collect them, we asked (with great annoyance) why she was a whole day late?
Turned out mom had walked Whitey and China to us, with where we were situated back then this would have easily been a three hour walk, and in order to collect them had had to ask her unsympathetic boss for a second day off work (ask in person mind, as back then she did not own a phone), then walk over three hours once again to arrive with us.
Safe to say we ate humble pie, checked our privilege, drove them all home and implemented a pick and drop off system for every dog attending our next clinic.
When people say township owners don’t care about their dogs – they, like Sidewalk Specials of 2017- know absolutely nothing of the challenges township owners face!
It’s been a privilege to walk alongside Whitey, China and their mommy for the last eight years and we hope to have many more!
Thank you our supporters, and to NexGard, Pet Heaven and The Sports Concept Store for choosing helping over judging and reuniting Whitey with her family!
Sadly, ongoing inflation is threatening Sidewalk Specials rescue work in De Doorns…
