I was honoured to be asked to give a talk in Queensland last night as part of a fund-raiser for the Victoria Bush Fire Relief effort, and in particular an organisation called Fun4Paws.  They're putting so much effort into finding foster homes for dogs who cannot remain with their families who have been placed in temporary accommodation after losing their homes in the devastating fires.

One story was particularly touching - a guy who had already lost all his possessions was heartbroken to think that he would also lose his dog. When he was told that thanks to Fun4Paws a place had been found for his pooch only 20 minutes from him he broke down and wept.
