THANK you for featuring my greyhound Donie (September 10), since when I have received a phone call from the RSPCA to tell me that Donie has made it through to the final stage of the Rescue Dog of the Year competition. We are taking him to the Milbrook RSP

THANK you for featuring my greyhound Donie (September 10), since when I have received a phone call from the RSPCA to tell me that Donie has made it through to the final stage of the Rescue Dog of the Year competition.

We are taking him to the Milbrook RSPCA centre to meet the other five finalists and to have photos taken by The Sunday Express and also by the RSPCA press.

He will once again be up for voting in The Sunday Express, some time between the end of October and mid-November.

I really hope that, hearing Donie's story, people will be more aware of retired greyhounds and will consider giving one or more the permanent home they deserve.
