Travel insurance (working with dogs)

Hi. I was hoping I could get some help with finding travel insurance for a trip to Thailand in the Summer as I'm a bit stuck.

Basically, I'll be on a volunteer placement working with dogs and I need insurance that will cover this. Problem is, the standard insurance you're given when you go on somewhere like confused.com doesn't cover something as specific as this.

Anyone know of a company that provides something that covers this? Should I just call up a company and get one tailor-made?

Dan

    Presumably you are a volunteer for a charity.
    What do they suggest?
    When I was a volunteer for a UK animal charity they provided the insurance, which I think was public liability. (I was working with my own dog so a different situation.)
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!
