WATCH: You’re never alone when you’ve got a dog

In May, film-maker Morgan Stephenson volunteered to interview our dear friend Mrs Sheila W in her own home in Newcastle.

Sheila wanted to tell everyone how important Wag’s special befrienders are for people like her who miss their pets and can’t have them anymore. As Sheila says: “You can be lonely in a crowded room, if you’re not part of what’s going on, that’s the worst kind of loneliness, because you feel isolated. You’re never alone when you’ve got a dog.”

It’s beautiful and moving and makes us all in Wag feel very glad that we can help a bit.

Thank you, Morgan and Sheila.

We safely supported 405 befriending relationships like Sheila, Jan and Teddy last year; simply the dog community of the North East, enabling retired members, like Sheila, to be part of things again.

If you can help us or join us, please don’t hesitate.
