The Dogs Trust Education Team is delighted to welcome back Liadh Fitzgerald, our South West Education Officer. Liadh is very excited to be returning to the team and to resume visiting primary schools and community groups in Cork, Kerry and Limerick.
Liadh first became an Education Officer for Dogs Trust in 2010 and has been delivering workshops ever since in the company of her Education Dog, Molly. Molly is a fabulous three-legged, white German Shepherd who has been dedicated to educating the children of South West Ireland all about Responsible Dog Ownership and Safety Around Dogs. She has never let having three legs hold her back and has been a firm favourite with everyone she meets.
However Molly is now 9 years old - that's 63 in human years - and has decided that the time is right for her to retire, as health is not the best. As an Education Dog, Molly has delivered at least 4 workshops a day, 4 days a week by Liadh's side - a heavy workload for a dog half her age! She's now looking forward to lazy days spent curled up on the couch with her favourite dog treats. The Education Team would like to thank Molly for her years of bringing joy to the classroom and hope that she thoroughly enjoys her retirement.
Liadh is currently taking bookings for her summer workshops in Cork, Kerry and Limerick, so if your summer camp, local library or other organisation would like a visit from Dogs Trust, you can contact Liadh on 087 923 9221 or at liadh.fitzgerald@dogstrust.ie. You can also contact the Education Team at education@dogstrust.ie to see if workshops are available in your area.
