Were working in dog welfare, took a year out to travel, now back with dogs!
Dog walker burn out is real. There is a lot of misconception about our job and what it actually entails but our day is not just filled with puppies and rainbows.

As dog owners, we all want to give our dogs the freedom to sniff, explore and enjoy the great outdoors. But with that freedom comes responsibility—especially near roads. While we might trust our dogs, the law in the UK is very clear: dogs must be kept on a lead on or near roads, and the consequences of not doing so can be severe.

We have been travelling now for four and a half months. It has been challenging and rewarding in equal measures. We have learnt a lot—from vehicle maintenance to ancient history and being a part of a massive social experiment without realising.

Although I was very aware of other categories being reviewed such as hate to the elderly and alternative cultures such as goths and punks, I found it quite interesting to hear the two sides put to the debate.

This year has been full of highs and lows. From climbing my first mountain in the Brecon Beacons to a pottery class. Gaining the courage to go swimming in a public pool (something I haven't done in 18 years) to having trouble at work and spending a week wild camping in Wales to a week in Worcester hospital with possible sepsis in my ankle.

The UK Wolf Conservation Trust is home to around 10 wolves living very happily in four packs on the conservation site. These include North American and Arctic wolves, as well as a European/North American cross.
