Beckham helped Gillian in "educating children and adults about responsible pet care and empathy for all living things." Over the course of his life in the DPSCA, Beckham would have worked with a minimum 45,000 children just visiting schools.
Gillian commented: "Beckham loved helping with media events, enjoyed the camera and the limelight. He loved to play with the water hoses each Halloween when the DSPCA joined forces with Dublin Bus, Dublin Fire Brigade, an Gardai and the local Co. Councils when they visited schools across Dublin talking about Halloween hazards."
The DSPCA is Ireland's oldest and largest animal welfare charity which was founded in 1840. They take in sick, injured and cruelly treated animals of every species from pets like dogs, cats, snakes, rabbits, parrots, ferrets and horses. They also deal with wild animals such as deer, foxes, swans and ducks. If you would like to help with their work, you can log on here.
