The Inaugural Great Irish Dog Walk a Huge Success

One Productions, the integrated communications agency, has produced a 3 minute fun filled video of the hugely successful Great Irish Dog Walk on behalf of the Dublin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (DSPCA).

The inaugural Great Irish Dog Walk took place in the Phoenix Park in Dublin on Saturday, September 28th last. It was a 3km walk and doggie themed festival which was open to all dog owners and people who love animals. A hugely family orientated event, it was hugely successful in terms of the turnout and fundraising with over 2,200 dogs registered for the event. At €10 to register for the dogwalk, it allowed the DSPCA to capture funds to support their efforts in taking in and rehabilitating animals in Dublin, while giving the public a fantastic big family day out.

Tom Hopkins, Owner, One Productions commented; “The DSPCA rescue 5000 sick or injured animals a year. This gives the animals a second chance at life and we loved being part of this event to film the fun filled day. It was great to see such a huge turn out and supporting a charity is always something we at One Productions are keen to do, especially such a long standing and much loved charity.

The video includes interviews with key spokespeople with the DSPCA, a ‘doggy cam’ featuring the event from the dogs point of view, lots of clips of families walking their dogs and visiting the DSCPA mobile clinics and a section on the ‘King of Paws’ dog training academy including agility training between the dogs and their owners."

The DSPCA is a registered charity and was set up in 1840. Today, it is Ireland’s largest animal welfare organisation. It provides much needed front line services including investigating cruelty, an ambulance service, long term care for animals,
re- housing for animals, wildlife care and release back into nature, as well as long term planning services such as education, legislation and helping owners care for their animals. The shelter is based in Rathfarnham and it also operates four mobile clinics and a PetTrace database to facilities lost or stolen animals through the use of a microchip.
