I have been supporting the Multiple Sclerosis Society for the past 5 or so years, after having a family member suffer from this disease. I also support the RSPCA because I have a love of animals. I think if we all try to support at least one needy cause, and there are many, no matter how big or small the donation, it would benefit both the giver and the receiver.

The RSPCA do a great job. Only last night somebody found some Labrador X puppies in an blanket and garbage bag in a bin at a service station on Pt. Wakefield Rd. They estimate they were about 8 weeks old. Sadly only one was still alive and they think it will make a full recovery and be able to go to a good home if it isn't considered to be a risk to humans. Unfortunately some that have been mistreated do not ever trust other people. I know a lady who has a pup she got from the Animal Welfare League that was handed in when he was 7 months old. We are sure he has been hit as he is aggressive even to people he knows if they are carrying a water bottle, toolbox or briefcase. The owner was walking her dog and met somebody he knew in the street. He wagged his tail and pulled towards the person. She held her closed hand out for him to sniff as she had been shown to do many years ago and he bit her. She had a water bottle in her other hand. We reckon when he saw the water bottle he got scared and defensive , that he felt threatened. The person was very understanding, first aid was administered by the owner, and no action was taken. It could have been a very nasty outcome.
