Story

I was privileged to be matched with one of these life-changing dogs - an adorable black labrador with a wonky tail, called Nicki in 2010. She was clever, attentive, loving and loyal and her mere presence made my life more joyful and her skills meant I could  live my life more independently. A truly priceless gift.

Nicki worked tirelessly for me for 10 years & we enjoyed another two years together following her retirement until she crossed over the Rainbow Bridge in 2022  

I was lucky to be matched with a wonderful successor dog Clive in 2023, but the cost of training and supporting dogs like Clive  is £30,000. To help raise money so more people can benefit from the independence a Canine Partner brings, I have been making craft items for the charity to sell and taking commissions for bespoke handmade items. 

If you have received one of Wonky Dog's items and would like to support my fundraising efforts, please consider making a donation to Canine Partners' life-changing work. Donating is simple, fast and secure  - your details will never be passed on to a third party and your gift will help fund more partnerships like ours.
