melcatlady Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) There was a nice story on BHG tonight in NSW about Blinky Bill the kelpie who couldn't swim, one of the owners the lady was wearing a AWDRI tee shirt. They where from a suburb of Brisbane. Just wonder if they got the dog from you guys it was good advertisment wearing the shirt I was very excited and said to my husband what a wonderful rescue group you guys are. Cheers Melcatlady Did anyone else see it ? Edited July 15, 2011 by melcatlady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWDRI Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Thanks so much Mel, Tracey, Bill's owner, is a foster carer for us (currently has a white kelpie under AWDRI in foster care) and we were really chuffed that she chose to wear the shirt on the segment. We sat here and watched it too. They cut out the bit where she spoke about Bill being a rescue (not one of ours though) which was a shame but it was great exposure nonetheless.

Burkes Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I saw it while at work. All my workmates are now well versed in the ways of rescue but loved hearing about AWDRI and the great work you guys do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 It was a great segment! I was trying to figure out what AWDRI stood for on the lady's T-shirt. Bill is star material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 to the lady for wearing her AWDRI Tee shirt I am sure some body who watched the segment would be intersted in finding our what that stand's for . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pikespooches Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I mised the episode but always love to see what Bill gets up to. He was a lovely puppy to foster all the time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kboukes Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hello! yes Blinky is our family dog, we just found this thread whilst looking for the tv link, its out on the interwebs somewhere!!! Pleased to report that he can now swim (a little unconventionally)! Very proud of mum appearing on tv despite being very sick with breast cancer, during her ongoing treatment Blinky has been such a good boy and staying by mums side constantly. Pikespooches was originally his foster carer who saved him when he was tiny! We love out Bill very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
