Here is a rough transcript of a 'thank you' speech I gave to the staff of Rescue Paws on my final day: 'Even though I have now been here almost a month, I still haven't been able to fully comprehend how you manage to do what you do - not just the volume of the work, but the complexity, the quality and the efficiency.....and to thing that you are doing out of a glorified concrete shoe-box with a few cages cobbled together outside....and on the smell of an oily rag! But what I will remember most are you guys - the love, compassion, respect and dignity that you show to each other and to every single animal in your care, coupled with the energy, enthusiasm and positivity that you all exhibit in a busy and unpredictable work-place will stay with me forever. So thank you again for the privilege of being able to work alongside you all over the last 4 weeks - I will miss you and your menagerie greatly," Tom
