Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Used as an ironic statement counter-acted by an old dog actually doing a ‘new’ trick. With the correct owners even an older dog will always adapt to new behaviours - and with the Ark finding new homes for dogs of all ages this actually becomes a reinforcement of the charity’s mission. If a new owner can ‘give some magic back’ then the rewards are obvious as is the support that anyone can offer directly to the charity.
