We didnt realise it at the time but the seed for PAAW House was sown shortly afterwards when we were challenged by a group of residents in our building for having Vinnie in our family and taken to court. In the four years that followed, we experienced wonderful kindness and support from dog-loving communities and animal charities all over the UK.
