Dogs for Depression’s canine founder dies aged 15 and a quarter

I am devastated to announce that Star, known as Starrydog, the rescue Border Collie cross who inspired the founding of Dogs for Depression, passed away last week at the grand old age of 15 1/4 after a long battle with Dementia.
He had a special soul and a unique way of touching the lives of the people he met for the better. In the years since my recovery I have done my best to pay that forward through Dogs for Depression, which hopefully has inspired others to go on their own healing dog rescue journey.
Please hold Starrydog in your thoughts and wish him Well, Happy and Free of suffering.
Rest In Peace Starrydog Stuart-Clarke, you will be forever in my heart.
