Today, we share some heartbreaking news.
Our beloved friend and colleague Mick sadly took his life on Monday 25th May.
Mick has been part of the Hounds family since the very beginning. He dedicated so much of his time, energy, and heart to the dogs in our care, and to everyone lucky enough to know him. His dream was to help train therapy dogs, inspired by his best friend Bear, whose companionship meant the world to him.
If you ever met Mick, you’ll remember his humour. Whether it was a joke over the radio, a witty comment through passing, laughter seemed to follow him wherever he went.
He often used the doggy naptimes to watch a new show, most recently having been watching the whole of Batman, sometimes we wouldn’t hear from him over the radio for a while only to later find out he had been making the most stupid comedy videos with the dogs that we’d get sent later in the day.
Rest easy, Mick. Give Bear a cuddle from all of us🧡
Forever part of the Hounds family🧡
If anyone wishes too, in lieu of any flowers and gifts, Micks partner would appreciate donations to the campaign for “Dignity in Dying”. Thankyou🤍
