Dear Students of Dogwarts:
We wanted to thank you for attending Dogwarts this past semester. It was an honour and a privilege to host you!
As we bid a fond farewell to Dogwarts, Dogsmeade Village, our four amazing Houses and everything that made this year such a success, we wanted to pay special thanks to the following individuals who could not be at Fur-Eh! this year:
- Latin Foxy for his tireless efforts on our 2017 website
- Golden Lion Studio for writing an original composition for us as our theme music
- mmmatches (Ringer) for creating our 2018 website
We also wanted to thank:
For your enjoyment, our 2017 Fur-Eh! Con Book (also known as “Dogwarts School Annual 2017”) is now available for you to download as a PDF.
