Thames Path Challenge – 14 - 15 September 2024 Take on the historic towpath... PLUS – Thames Bridges Trek Hounds for Heroes uniquely fully funds the whole working life of our Hounds. In this way the provision of an Assistance Dog does not create a financial burden on the Partner at any time making the availability of the help we offer as wide as possible. Sandor's temper, sadism, violence and drunkness have all been toned down in the television series. He acts a lot meaner, aggressive, and offensive to Arya in the novels.

In the TV series, Sandor did survive due to being saved by a septon known as Brother Ray, while in the books his fate left unknown though he is very likely survived as well. Brother Ray is the television counterpart of Septon Meribald, who's a former war veteran like Ray. Apparently, he joined with the Brotherhood without Banners. In the novels it is always reminded how his horse Stranger is impossible for any human to control, yet Brienne sees the beast in the Quiet Isle and by his violent behavior in the place it seems impossible that the brothers would have been able to bring him there without Sandor. While Sandor's presence in the show couldn't necessarily confirm his book status, as the show took a different path from the novels, Ray's speech and character have been taken from Meribald and likely confirms that Clegane is indeed the limping gravedigger in the isle and that Brother Ray is the TV series' replacement of Septon Meribald and the Elder Brother, who are both related to Sandor's "end". One day they find a dying man of House Piper, who's a victim from the Red Wedding and Robb's s follower, with a wound full of blood and pus. The soldier was serving under Ser Marq Piper, who's now a captive at the Twins. He was wounded with a mace by a Bolton man and has a broken shoulder with his own chainmail in his flesh. He begs Sandor for a drink and the gift of mercy, and recognizes him as Joffrey's dog. Sandor replies that he's now free and gives him water, both soldier and Sandor wishing it was wine. The man gets the mercy of death by Sandor who shows Arya where the heart is. He takes the soldier's money and gives Arya the man's dagger and helm.

You will be supported by our training team so you do not need to have lots of experience or qualifications to look after one of our puppies in training but you will need to meet certain criteria: He wears plain armour, and is denoted by his distinctive helmet, sculpted into the shape of a snarling dog's head. He classically carried an enormous greatsword which suits his incredible strength, and brutal nature. Preferably live within a 25-mile radius of Petersfield – reasonable travelling expenses can be claimed. Having been the face of the Royal British Legion Poppy appeal, where it was known and widely publicised, that there were over 900,000 injured and disabled service men and women in the UK. Allen felt there was an urgent need for a bespoke and dedicated assistance dog school that was purely focused on serving the disabled and injured armed services veteran community, which led to Hounds for Heroes being established in 2010. This concept and mission was later expanded to include those services personnel injured and disabled in the frontline UK emergency services, Police, Fire and Rescue, Ambulance and HM Coastguard. The truth of the Raid on Saltpans is that Sandor's helmet was found by the remnants of the Brave Companions mercenary company, and was donned by Rorge, leading people to believe that Sandor was still alive and had turned into a vagabond. Rorge is believed to be the Hound, and, as a result, Sandor is blamed for the brutal Raid on Saltpans. Arya had arrived at Saltpans only to find that most of the village has been destroyed by Rorge's band, most of the man killed, and the women and children raped and mutilated by Biter. Ser Walder Rivers sees the aftermath of the massacre and reports the situation to the rest of the realm.

During his introduction in the first novel, he is around 26 to 28 years old, being five years younger than Gregor. The two head towards the Vale of Arryn, and they stop in a village in the Mountains of the Moon, for a short time. They work there, until they are forced to leave since the inhabitants are feeling uncomfortable with their presence. Sandor decided to change course and find another of her relatives to ransom her to, first choosing to bring her to her aunt, Lysa Arryn, at the Eyrie. From his own experience of having suffered a traumatic head injury whilst on active duty, sustained in the aftermath of the 1991 Gulf War and his subsequent partnering with his first life enhancing, life changing assistance dog. Before fleeing, he confronts Sansa in her chambers, drunkenly asking her to come with him. After she refuses, he settles for a song elicited at knifepoint, and steals a kiss from her before leaving, riding his horse Stranger. He leaves his Kingsguard cloak in Sansa's room and hopes that Tyrion will die in the battle.

In the novels Sandor's facial scars are more hideous and a piece of bone is even visible. Like in the show, Sandor puts some of his hair to cover what he can. According to the novels, Sandor's left ear was completely burned by his brother and nothing of it has been left. In TV version Sandor had both ears until Brienne bites off his burned ear during their fight, which is what actually happens to Vargo Hoat in the books, when he tries to rape Brienne at Harrenhal. Some days later, Arya arrives at the town of Saltpans only to find it burned and almost completely destroyed, except for the keep of House Cox. A group of criminals savagely raped, mutilated, and murdered most of the men, women, and children of the place, leaving only a few to rebuild the town and bury the corpses. Arya finds there a boat for Braavos.
