Bramley's Last Post – Story of a Rescue Dog

This will be ma last postie as I am orf on a long journey over da bridge. Now don't be sads for me cos I hab habs a good life with my owners. Dey have tried to cater for ma every whim and believe me I culd be cantankerous at times.

In ma former life I used to tek meeself for walkies as ma owners then did not so I learned how to open da latch and I woz orf on ma travels. Da dog warden in Basingstoke knew me well and I used to wait for her van to come and get me. I got to see all da world around my home town, da train station, da precinct and to get there I had to cross da ring road all on ma own. I woz a lucky chap in many ways dat I did not get runned over.

In da end I had bin in da van so many times ma owners signed me over and den I ended up wiv Labrador Lifeline Trust as der Ambassador and office boy. Yep I habs had a good life and in ma later years habs had da company of my ickle bruvver Harry who I habs told has got to carry on ma work and look after da newbies and da fritened ones. I habs told him he must be kind and gentle at all times and dis am my legacy.

Am orf to go wandering now and meet up wiv all dem doggies I habs known.
