Who are the animals that have most inspired people in 2013 to add their voices to the growing movement for animals? Leading up to the end of the year, AWP is celebrating the causes, campaigns and characters that have been at the forefront of helping make history for animals. Each day until the end of the year (apart from Christmas Day and Boxing Day) we’ll be focusing on another story. Please share far and wide to help spread the good news for animals.

Day 4: Danny the Reading Dog

Our newest celebrity supporter is Danny the ‘Reading Dog’.

Rescued from wandering the streets of Cork, Ireland, Danny and his owner, Tony now travel to primary schools around the UK, transforming the lives of many children through the ‘Bark & Read’ programme.

Danny has been on Sky, BBC, ITV, Fox, PBS, and CBS News programmes. Danny won The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) Amazing Animal award for his work as a listening dog, helping children improve their reading skills.

We are very grateful to Danny and his owner Tony for their support of our campaign.

If you think animals like Danny deserve dedicated representatives in the European Parliament then support the Animal Welfare Party’s campaign in the EU Elections in May. If you live in London you can PLEDGE TO VOTE, and if you live anywhere and care about animals you can support us in our campaign to raise funds. Fundraising is crucial in our efforts to make history for animals. Make the difference now.
