I AM currently studying to become a Blue Cross Pet Bereavement Supporter, which lasts a year.

I require people in the following categories who would be willing to answer a questionnaire or be interviewed over the telephone or via email over the course of the next 12 months.

The categories I require are: Pet owners all different types of pets, all age groups Non-pet owners only exclusion is if the reason is due to housing restrictions Assistance dog owners people who have lost their pets either through wandering, bereavement or separation/divorce in the family. I can either send a questionnaire through the post, via email or would be happy to phone and take replies via this method.

Please contact me either via post (postage costs will be refunded) to the address below or via email to sandie_rule@yahoo.co.uk, stating your preferred method of contact.

All successful volunteers will receive a small "thank you" gift at the end.

I must stress that all details will be kept confidential and will be backed up by a written guarantee to this effect.

(Miss) S RULE.
