It is with great sadness that I have to report that Dido died at the weekend in a tragic accident.

She was a fantastic dog, loved by her owner Peter and family, and many members of the club. She was such a character, who lived an amazing life at the farm, she had free run of the whole farm, and would perfectly time visits to workers at their lunch breaks to share their sandwiches, she would go to the power station to 'sit' on guard with the security guards on shift, always come and say hi when we were grass cutting, and would very patiently sit in front of the burger van on a sunday till she got a burger ! And she loved her runs up the track.

She was beautiful, graceful, intelligent, loyal and affectionate - a very special dog. She will be missed by all

Caledonian Thistle Pedigree Whippet Racing Club members, including myself will sorely miss Dido the farm Lurcher, she was notably very intelligent & loved to race on the track and to walk among her whippet friends, I always kepts some treats in my pocket for her. It is a splendid conclusion to the end of Dido's life, that she be buried at a spot near the track finishing line. A beautiful Lurcher and she would have been "a heartbeat, at her owner's side". A very sad loss.

Susan here,,John gave me his password.

We are all so shocked to hear of Dido's death

She was a dog in a million,,a super pet to Duncan,,and Peter,,,the club wont be the same without her.

My 2 kids took her death badly,,as they wanted to bring her home after every club meeting,,I liked her too,,a very soft spot for her.

We as a family will visit the farm over the holiday and will place a treat at where she was layed to rest.

God bless you Dido,,our wee pal,,a total nut case,,who hated rats,,,chase them in heaven girl xxx
