Hearing the rattle of food, the dogs started jumping up at the kennels.
‘Alright, I’m coming,’ I laughed, putting bowls down in front of them.
As they got stuck into their dinner, I smiled.
I was the welfare manager at Bath Cats and Dogs Home, and caring for animals really was my passion.
I’d even adopted a few from the rescue centre myself!
I wished I could take them all home, but I was content with showing them as much love and care as I could.
Some of them had had rough starts in life, and I made it my mission to treat them with kindness.
As I finished off my morning rounds back in January 2016, the phone rang.
‘We’re on our way in now with a dog,’ the dog warden told me. ‘Someone called us after witnessing him being hit with an iron bar.’
My heart broke.
I didn’t understand how anyone could be so
