Shelter dog rescues office worker - Human Walking Program



Reverse thinking in this campaign from the Australian The Lost Dogs Home, the largest animal shelter in the country.
They did their first Human Walking Program last April. The idea was to helping get Melbourne office workers out from behind their desks and into the fresh air with shelter dogs. Dogs are a widely known stress reliever and companion. And who needs it more than office workers?

Shelter ambassador Mike Larkan said the event was another great way to encourage people to consider adoption when getting a dog and to support the work of The Lost Dogs’ Home. 

Every single dog in this program was adopted.

Prince William, Kate and Prince George - Australia tour

Royals down under: William, Kate and baby George arrive in Australia



The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have taken a tour around the famous sites of Sydney in Australia as their trip down under continues. Kate and William took in the Sydney Opera House, met cricket legend and England's Ashes nemesis, Glenn McGrath, who gave the royal couple a famous baggy green cap. And after all that, they went on a boat ride round the harbour.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visit the Blue Mountains near Sydney, Australia, and met with families in Winmalee who lost their homes to the fires in October last year.


Prince William and Catherine visit Echo Point Lookout in the Blue Mountains from where Australia's iconic Three Sisters rock formation can be viewed, before getting close to the action, meeting abseilers as they descend the rocks.

Prince William and Kate have attended an Easter service in Australia before taking the royal baby, Prince George, to Taronga Zoo, where he met a Bilby.



The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge looked at some sheep shearing and took a trip down to Manly Beach in Australia on Friday as part of the royal tour down under.



Prince William has thanked the Australian people for their warmth and generosity during his tour down under with the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince George. He also thanked everyone for the royal baby's cuddly wombat gift. Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott praised the dedication and grace of the royal couple during their visit.
