Hoolie's
Story
Hoolie was an
orange roan cocker spaniel born in July 1993. He was very aptly
named, often being called 'Hooligan'. He loved life, was a very
active little dog and was renowned in the Team for being the 'Dog
most likely to be dirty'. The smallest amount of rain or even dew
and Hoolie was soaking wet and muddy!! Nobody knew how he managed
it! He loved being in the Team especially the second half of a race
when he would suddenly double his speed and fly to the finish.
Hoolie was
diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2001.
He visited
Cambridge but sadly was given just 4 weeks to live without
exceptionally major surgery or possibly up to 6 months if he had
surgery. It was decided that he would not be subjected to any
treatment but would continue to live a normal life for as long as
possible. However he amazed everyone and lived a happy life
for exactly a year beyond predictions.
Hoolie died in
September 2002 aged 9 years
