The S.O.F.A. Club




Post Crufts editing is still going on. I basically created my own TV show at Crufts "Heidi the Dog Reporter©" behind the scenes!
I have edited about 2 hours of footage so far now just 6 hours of footage to go! The filming is always the easy bit! I am sure it will all be up by next week. I am now an editing machine. Hope some of you are enjoying some of my youtube clips.

Today I want to just give a big Dog Reporter thumbs up to the SOFA club whom I met at Crufts on the Petlog stand.
I received some lovely emails and updates from Sue Cole, the teacher and leader of the SOFA club this week.

The pics I have posted were kindly forwarded to me by Sue earlier today. They show the students celebrating the launch of their new website yesterday and the picture of Bobby the SOFA mascot (a rescue greyhound).

What is the SOFA club you ask? It stands for "SPEAKING OUT FOR ANIMALS." It is a wonderful way for young people to get involved in campaigning for animals by "Giving them a voice"

These young students were at Crufts 2009 campaigning and getting additional signatures to promote mandatory microchipping/pet identification in the UK. I was highly impressed by these young students working tirelessly at obtaining signatures near the Petlog stand (Petlog is the UK's largest microchip database)

I did an interview with SOFA which will be in my next batch of editing. Stay tuned!

I am proud to announce on my blog (ta da ... drum roll please) their new website which is
SOFA

www.speaking-out-for-animals.co.uk

Please offer your support where possible - signing their petition, visiting their new site or just sharing the link on your facebook, blog, or twitter feed.


Young people are not only our future but our dog's future as well.
