Take Your Dog to Work
Day is celebrating it’s 10th anniversary this year. The
date for your diary is Tuesday 20th September 2005.
The event, organised by The Blue Cross and sponsored by Hill’s
Pet Nutrition, is still one of the most popular events in the
canine calendar. Canines can lend a paw by joining the rat race
for a day.
Even if you are not usually able to take your pooch to work with
you, making an effort on this one special day will mean you both
have fun and of course help raise money for animals in need.
The Blue Cross says “By registering to take part in
this event you can help us with our work caring for sick and unwanted
animals at our adoption centres and animal hospitals across the
country.”
The event also helps promote awareness of the benefits of pet
companionship. Dogs can have such a positive effect on the mental
and physical well-being of those around them. At the same time,
the dog benefits from not being home-alone, which can lead to
dogs feeling sad, anxious and lonely. Your pooch will also learn
to be sociable and this time together is likely to increase your
dog's bond with you. So what are you waiting for!
And it’s not just us mere mortals who take part.
“Every year, celebrity dog owners including presenter Johnny
Vaughan, Jamiroquai front man, Jay Kay, William Roache MBE, Jenny
Seagrove, Martin Clunes and Amanda Holden join thousands of others
to take part in the charity event.”
