Dog Kennels for Tommo!

We’re really happy to have received an update on how Colin has been getting on in his recovery.

Colin was severely injured by an IED in Afghanistan, Helmund Province, in 2009.

His recovery has been a long process and his love for dogs has helped him to get through. We helped to fund some kennels for Colin for taking care of the dogs.

As Colin himself says, keeping the dogs fed and walked helps his focus and helps him to stay active.

We’re very happy to have been sent a link to a newspaper piece written by the Newtownards Chronicle, and with their kind permission, we’re sharing their great picture here along with the link to their article:

“Carrowdore Soldier’s Dog Kennel Rehab” – Newtownard’s Chronicle, 27 Feb 2014

You can see Colin in the picture, standing in front of his kennels, and between Major Richard Wood, O/C B Company of 2 Rifles Battalion, and Strangford MP Jim Shannon.
