The Martlets Hospice’s four legged mascot, Buster, is calling on the city’s dogs to join him on the Martlets first ever sponsored dog walk.
Pooches on the Prom will take place on Brighton seafront at 11am on Sunday, January 19. Dogs of all shapes and sizes are invited to join Buster and help him raise money for patient care.
The walk will start at the Hove Lawn Café and there are two routes (to the pier or Madeira Drive and back) depending on how energetic the dogs and their owners are feeling. All the pooches taking part will be rewarded at the end with a doggy treat and a medal.
Buster, who turns 6 on Sunday November 24, has been a supporter of the Hospice since he was adopted at the age of 1 by his owners, Robert & Corinne Blass.
Talking about Buster, Corinne said: “Despite losing his eye in an accident two years ago Buster is a very pampered pooch. He is the ‘King’ Charles Spaniel in our house and enjoys fresh chicken, followed by cuddles on the sofa every night. Stepping up to be the Martlets mascot is his way of giving something back. He will be in his element on the day as he loves to be the centre of attention.”
For many patients having their pets visit them at the Hospice makes a huge difference to their wellbeing and it is just one of the ways the Hospice enables people to live well. All of the money raised by the Hospice’s furry friends will go towards funding these vital services. Registration is just £5 per dog, although all the pooches taking part are being asked to raise as much sponsorship as possible.
