The K9 Project works with dogs and the young people who attend all like dogs. They like dogs a lot! They have been involved in fundraising activities and they are currently raising money for Canine Partners and Nowzad dogs. Recently they have taken part in activities like sponsored dog walks, charity market stalls and cake sales at schools. This time they decided to do something different and write a song to celebrate the relationship between dogs and man, as well as to highlight the large numbers of dogs who are abandoned in this country. This was quite a brave step as none of the young people had ever sung in front of anyone else before and they had certainly not made a record! The young people wrote the lyrics after watching films about Nowzad Dogs, assistance dogs, and abandoned dogs. Maria and Paul composed and arranged the music and Maria sung along with the group.
Proceeds from the song (released on CD with 4 page booklet) will be donated to Nowzad Dogs and Canine Partners and an online download will also be available.
This project and the completed song was made possible by the East Cambridgeshire Community Development Fund, wonderful support, guidance and creativity from Maria Daines and Paul Killington, support from the young peoples’ school - Witchford Village College, and the K9 project staff and dogs - Kevin, Chris, Ruby, Taz, Billy, Cassie, Buck and Izzy!
