218: Be Kind programme with Wild at Heart Foundation

They champion compassion and collaboration; they believe that there is power in kindness and community, and that by working together towards a common goal, we can help make the world a better, kinder place.
Be Kind Programme
WAHF are excited to share the new Be Kind programme, the compassionate curriculum teaching empathy and understanding!
Education plays a huge role in the welfare of dogs around the world. When humans learn to respect these incredible animals and appreciate the many wonderful things they can bring to our lives, they open themselves up to one of the most amazing relationships there is.
