Peterborough, On: A local Belgian Shephered is inviting fellow canines and their “humans” to take part in a very special walk in support of the Peterborough Humane society.
On Sunday, June 22, Duke and his owner Sofie Andreou will be hosting the first annual Duke’s Trail Tour event, a fun 5k/10k walk through the Rotary Trail system. Duke, a Peterborough Humane Society rescue, has overcome the abuse he suffered as a puppy with the love of his forever home family, and the freedom he found exploring trails around the world. With a vast array of trail-systems available to Peterborough and the Kawarthas, Duke (and Sofie) thought it was high time to spread the love and get others trekking for a great cause. “Duke is a very special dog,” says Sofie. “We adopted him from PHS in 2005, and he’s been by my side ever since, travelling trails from Mexico to Nova Scotia. We want to share our love of exploration and help give other dogs a chance at a Forever Home.” With over 1,300 animals in need of care on an annual basis, funds are desperately needed. With a little help from Duke and his friends, the Peterborough Humane Society is hoping to raise money to tend to the sick, neglected and abused animals that come through their doors.
