It's Take Your Dog To Work Day on Friday 14 September and The
Blue Cross is again calling on pooches up and down the country
to lend their owners a paw at work for the day. Now celebrating
its 12th year, this event is a national celebration of the bond
that people share with their dogs.
Every
year, tens of thousands of dogs bound along with their owners
on this special day to work places across the UK. Last year, thousands
of you took part and the events of the day attracted attention
right across the globe.
The event is organised by The Blue Cross and asks dog owners to
consider how they can spend more time with their pets. As well
as promoting responsible pet ownership the event also raises funds
for the charity, allowing it to continue its work caring for unwanted
and sick pets. Registration is free, owners are simply asked to
fundraise for The Blue Cross.
For
this year's event, The Blue Cross, in association with Hill's
Pet Nutrition, is encouraging dog owners to take a break from
the rat race and walk their dog during their working day.

To help you monitor the
number of steps you take with
your dog for this year's event, the first 500 people to
register
online can order a limited edition pedometer (left),
complete with calorie counter.
Remember, always seek advice from your vet on the correct
amount of exercise your dogs needs. |
