Last Sunday, 188 human/dog teams met in Rifferswil for the annual charity dog military of the Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation in perfect doggy weather. The revenues of about Fr. 6'000.-- from the entry fees as well as the revenues of the catering flow completely into our animal welfare projects in Switzerland and abroad. We are very happy that our Military was such a great success again this year. We owe this to all the good-humored teams and our wonderful helpers. Of course, various sponsors and supporters have also made an indispensable contribution. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts:
