Chief Executive, Caroline Yates, appeared on BBC London 94.9 to talk about our dog show event, Hyde Bark, on Sun 5 July. She was joined by author Aby King, who has written a series of childrens books based on Prince William’s dog, Lupo. Caroline took along one of pets available for adoption, Ernie, a black and white Staffie, who got on famously with all the other dogs.  Aby told presenters, Joanne Good and Anna Webb about her support for The Mayhew and the reading she will be giving from her latest book, Lupo and the Curse At Buckingham Palace, at the event at 12:30.
