Description

They're cute and they're heading to Bower! Come and meet the greyhounds and lurchers that have been rescued by Bristol charity Dawg (Bristol Dog Action Welfare Group).

They will be in the Students' Union cafe area throughout the lunch break waiting for strokes and cuddles. 

The Students' Union will be making a donation to the charity in order to make this event free for students to attend. However you can donate to the Dawg charity if you wish.
