Lady B

This week we’re joined by Lady Bathurst of Cirencester Park. Lady B is the founder of The National Foundation for Retired Service Animals (NFRSA).

Lady B discusses why she launched this charity to help all service dogs and horses in their retirement. Raising funds so that the charity can help with vet bills, and make their golden years really golden after serving the public so bravely.

Having celebrated the charity’s first birthday a few months ago, Lady Bathurst will be departing on 13th September for 3 weeks - cycling from Lands End to John O'Groats.  Accompanied along the way by a number of well known celebrities including the Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York who is Patron of the charity.

Other famous names including Ben Miller,  Minnie Driver, Dr Dawn Harper, David Gower, Nick Knowles, Lisa Maxwell and many other will be.joining Lady B along the way. We chat about the grueling training program, the route and why she is determined to hit the demanding mileages everyday!

We discuss other ways of fundraising including the charity’s annual calendar and simple ways to raise much needed funds. We also chat about Lady B’s own massive passion for all animals, but especially Cocker Spaniels. 

We urge you to support Lady B and help retired service animals!

What is A Dog's Life with Anna Webb?

Dogs.

They’re companions, guardians, and much much more – they complete us. And they just might save us from ourselves.

Anna Webb explores all levels of modern dog ownership and brings to life why every dog is extraordinary.

She speaks to scientists and experts - people who have and are changing our understanding of dogs - on everything from emotional intelligence to nutrition to behaviour, delving deep into subjects like homeopathy, telepathic communication and the pet food scandal.

It's thought provoking, alternative, and not a little subversive.
