Protect Your Pooch A New Dog Theft Campaign
Regular visitors to my website will know that I am a pet owner and, as such, a pet and animal lover. As is John from Blacon, who has kindly sent me this article – “Protect Your Pooch A New Dog Theft Campaign.” Thanks again John, much appreciated.
As any caring pet owner will tell you, our pets are an integral part of our family. And deserve to be treated as such. We have four moggies, three of which were rescue cats, all desperately looking for a forever home at the time we invited them to join our family. And haven’t they just enhanced our own lives in the process as well. I’ve heard so many people say, or think, that a “cat is a cat” so to speak. And that all cats are alike. Not so. Not by a long chalk. Each of our four are separate individuals, each with their own very distinctive personalities. I will at some point introduce you to our very own “Fab Four” in the “Pets Corner” section of this website. So, get your smiley faces on you lot, our furry eating machines.
But not for now as this particular post is about how to protect your Pooch and the new dog theft campaign to support this idea.

Just look at his face. Isn’t he a cutie.
