Tibetan Terriers are famous for guarding temples and raising funds for Samaritans. Both are available 24/7, places of refuge for the distressed and, oh I don't know. The point is, Samaritans provide the most exceptional support to people who are in a really bad way. Amazingly, you can contact Samaritans by phone, letter, email, in person and soon by text! My keyboard skills will come in handy should I ever need to text them, and I'm limbering up the thumb on my right paw just in case.

I try not to listen in when Marion makes personal calls, unless it involves large deliveries of cheese or corned beef. But I happen to know she's a regular caller to Samaritans and this is one of the main ways she keeps the walks, tummy-tickling and cheese mini-sandwiches coming. So please support my dogged efforts to raise money for this wonderful organisation.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Samaritans will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Thank you very very much.
