Introducing Murphy

As HPW Architecture prepares our kennel for the Goodwoof Design Competition at Goodwood Estate, we’d like to introduce our very important client: Murphy.


HPW's Emma says: "Murphy is a rescue dog from the Blue Cross. Originally called Frodo, he appeared on the Blue Cross website, disappeared, then reappeared, and just as my parents were about to give up trying to contact the charity, the phone rang. It was the Blue Cross asking if they’d like to meet him; they went that day.


He was described as timid, but he greeted them with pure excitement. A week later, just before Christmas , he came home.


Within three days he’d eaten an entire chocolate yule log (and survived an emergency vet trip), and shortly after, bonded instantly with my brother Ryan, as if they’d known each other forever.


We later learned he had been returned to the rescue once before for “barking too much.” He can be a bit noisy, but it’s hard to imagine why anyone would return him, he’s affectionate, loyal, and full of character."


This year Goodwoof is supporting Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, a reminder of how many brilliant rescue dogs deserve a second chance.


Our space themed kennel is designed for Murphy; a rescue dog who very nearly got away.
