<div style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
I started writing this and couldn't stop.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
I have only just seen this great article and it's made me feel bad. I could have done much more to help Craig. I've been busy, but what he's doing makes everything I do seem trivial by comparison. Surely we can find a few minutes to read this? Open up your heart....<br />
Before you read it, here's a few words from me on why I am prepared to beg you to help this little charity get bigger.<br />
Please adopt it this year as your own, nurture it, care about it - because you will be making a MASSIVE difference.<br />
Have a raffle (ask me for a prize, it's the least I can do). Anything you can do will be so appreciated.<br />
Craig is naturally a VERY, very shy and humble person, talking to the press does not come easily.<br />
He HATES talking about himself.<br />
It is an indication of how really brave he is that he has forced himself to do this interview.<br />
Craig knows he has to talk about things that are so personal, so painful to make you care enough to spread the word about this very special charity he started.<br />
Not because he wanted a job or to create an empire or get an OBE. It wasn't a hobby, it was something he felt compelled to do.<br />
If he doesn't tell you about why it's so important, you'd never know it was there.<br />
He has been very quietly, thoroughly asking for help and advice from the best experts in every field - doing everything properly and carefully and progressively just putting his head down and gently, effectively making it the best it can be. And at the same time, on no tangible funding and just committed passionate volunteers like the excellent Kirsten Dillon - already quietly starting to really help people with PTSD.<br />
No fancy PR fizz, no stunts - because Craig knows that most returning troops with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder like things to be really calm. Discreet. Reliable. Safe. Predictable.<br />
These brave people got so badly damaged because they put their lives on the line for us - we might not agree with the conflicts, but you have to admire these heroes who risked everything. You don't see the damage when you first look. There's no obvious wound in many cases, no visible disability. Yet they have come home so altered that they are much more likely to die back home than they would ever have done on a battlefield.<br />
PTSD kills more of our troops than any hostile enemy ever will. There are no new sparkly drugs on the horizon that will make them magically all better, no Noel Fitzpatrick of the mind able to reassemble them with a gadget. This is a very serious, complex mental illness that can kill you and others if mishandled. It's not something you want to dabble in, would you contemplate learning how to diffuse a bomb by reading a book? You really shouldn't ever underestimate the skills of the experts.<br />
Craig's beloved dog somehow helped find the way out when he was really lost, that dog (and Combat Stress) brought him safely back to his family - made him want to live. The dog was a brilliant ingredient in helping him and others undergoing treatment - but Craig knows and appreciates that you need to tackle PTSD on all fronts. There's not quick and easy fits all solutions. You underestimate this condition at your peril. Your mistakes could cost lives, so you prepare, you plan, you work with the best experts in every field.<br />
Craig has found a route out of the minefield he had in his mind - and he wants to be given the chance to show some of his comrades how they too could safely navigate their way out, too.<br />
Not in a starry, idealistic, shiny, unrealistic way. Craig is not like that.<br />
He knows the grim reality of what this devastating condition can do to a family. He has the insight only someone who has lived through this condition can bring.<br />
He is THE man for this job.<br />
Let him do it.<br />
Please support him in this mission.<br />
You might have read between the lines here, but I really, really want Craig to succeed - I will push him forward as I know he will not. I want him to be able to make some sense out of what happened to him. For him to feel thoroughly supported in what he is doing - to cheer him on and help him make a huge positive out of a ghastly negative.<br />
Combat Stress helped Craig get better and they have helped him with starting this charity and they are working closely with him every step of the way. He has reached out and collaborated. He has asked existing charities for help every step of the way and listened to experts in every field.<br />
He has found the best people to help him and his appreciates their expertise and that's what will make this charity great, teamwork.<br />
And this team needs you! Because what Craig is not good at is asking for money!<br />
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is easily reduced to a four letter abbreviation (PTSD), but another four letter word comes to mind when you realise how very hard it is to shake it and how if you underestimate it, you do so at your peril.<br />
Please help him reach his goal. His motivation has absolutely nothing to do with sending anyone's ego on a trip, he's a real proper hero and he really needs your help. Please pass this on, join in, don't let something this special linger in the shade. Let's put the spotlight on this very reluctant hero and help him.<br />
Thank you for reading<br />

Here's the article in One Media....<br />
Craig is the founder of the charity, Veterans With Dogs, which trains Assistance Dogs to increase independence and improve quality of life for British ex-servicemen and women with mental health conditions.<br />
When was Veterans With Dogs founded and what was your initial inspiration?<br />
I founded the charity in 2012 after witnessing the effect of Labrador, Fudge’s, presence during a six-week residential treatment programme for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, where she assumed the role of matriarch for all 16 ex-servicemen.<br />
She gave herself her own jobs and took it upon herself to keep an eye on everyone attending treatment, and to provide a sense of comfort and relief for many of those that found the day emotionally difficult.<br />
Seeing these behaviours led to some long conversations about the need for further development of this kind of work, to bring the positive benefits of dog ownership to a wider audience whose needs were based on mental health conditions resulting from trauma. So Fudge was my inspiration!<br />
How many British ex-servicemen and women do you think you have helped over this time?<br />
We have worked with over 200 veterans since then, providing various activities including workshops, residential training, open days, meet-and-greet events and educational initiatives. We’re pleased with what we’ve done so far, but we want to do so much more.<br />
Can you tell us about one of your proudest moments?<br />
We were delighted to receive an award from Dogs Today magazine in recognition of the work Fudge had done. But the best moments are always those times when we get to see results. When those light bulb moments happen, witnessing the tangible difference that a dog can make to someone’s well being, it is an amazing feeling.<br />
Where do you find the dogs that you go on to train? Do you ever work with rescue dogs?<br />
Our dogs can be sourced from anywhere – from breeders to rescue centres, provided that they are assessed as suitable for the work that is intended, and that they are of a suitable age and temperament to train and work with.<br />
Do you match the dogs to the people or do you train the dogs when you encounter a person with a specific need?<br />
Dogs are trained specifically for each individual, as needs are very different from person to person. The earlier we begin the process the more pronounced the results, which is why we prefer to start with puppies rather than a mature dog as a great deal depends on the bond that is developed between the two in order to cement a working partnership.<br />
Can you tell us a bit more about your Assistance Dog programme and what it focuses on?<br />
The programme is the first of its kind in the UK – specifically training dogs for the mental health needs of trauma resulting from military service. The dogs are trained in task-work unique to each individual and their needs. This can be from medication reminders and retrieval, grounding techniques and calming measures for panic attacks or heightened anxiety, turning lights on during nightmares, waking up the handler and motivation, guiding to a safe place, focus work to reduce hyper vigilance – the list goes on.<br />
What are your aspirations for the future?<br />
We wish to provide more partnerships and increase our capacity to meet the ever growing demand for our work. Longer term we are looking to establish a centre of excellence with our own facilities capable of providing even more support combining clinical professional services and animal behavioural training.<br />
Being a non profit organisation, relying on fundraising and donations, how do people get in touch if they wish to contribute?<br />
All donations are very gratefully received and as a small charity donations make a very big difference. People can donate or just contact us for more information or help through the website – <a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.veteranswithdogs.org.uk%2F&h=cAQEJChRZ&enc=AZMGOwaOjVwXTdgV3c0FvtOvnVV3gcQtkm9M8LkXeBP5c4E8GOygs4hXVonOFjeJJ65_zB7Lsa17S6fUU5FU0ntFWy5gwJOKjotgaV9SitEcqBTiGb1uVxBVeN3oI9h3XS6csukM8b16vZd6rrTgjv9H3VQ4WGwOCh8iEU3DPZ8RnQ&s=1" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">www.veteranswithdogs.org.uk</a><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">In France a couple of years ago a
baby was tragically killed by a German Shepherd. The adult in charge was
arrested for not properly supervising and the dog was taken away for
assessment. How revolutionary.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">During the Napoleonic Wars there
was a fear of a French invasion of Britain and much public concern about the
possibility of French infiltrators and spies.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">In the wreckage of a French boat
the fishermen of Hartlepool found a ship’s pet monkey - dressed to amuse in a
military style uniform.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Unfamiliar with what the French
looked like, they thought this monkey was a French spy - so they hung it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">We appear not to have progressed
much since this time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">When there is a human tragedy
involving a dog we routinely kill the dogs first and ask questions afterwards.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Vet and expert witness on fatal
dog bites Kendal Shepherd would really like us to stop doing this.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">With every tragedy we still seem
to learn nothing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Emotions take over and fill the
fact void. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">And there follows a witch hunt
against this particular type of dog - or just dogs generally if it is a breed
for which the picture desk hasn’t got a ‘good’ snarling photo.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Virtually no one seems to ever
speak the uncomfortable truth that it is responsible adults that should be
keeping babies safe around dogs.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">That these deaths are rare, but
not so unheard of for people not to know it is a possibility.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">It has been reported by all news
outlets that the Police said they ‘could not yet confirm the breed of dog.
Experts will carry out tests early next week to determine what kind it was.’</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Vet Kendal Shepherd pasted this
comment on my Facebook wall almost immediately, “Sickening yet again. As for
'vets trying to identify the breed of dog' ...it's the behaviour of the dog
that matters and as far as I know, this cannot be determined post-mortem. But
will we ever be told what really happened? One over-whelming factor in
baby/child deaths is present already = baby being cared for by a relative. But
was the baby in her own home? Whose dog was it? Was the dog familiar with the
child? Was the relative the primary carer of the dog? How obedient was the dog?
How was it trained? Was it trained at all? How often exercised? And ultimately,
how did the dog gain access to the baby? The questions go on and on. But until
the questions are answered and the answers, however unpalatable, make as big
headlines as the news of the baby death in the first place, we will be no
further forward.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Finding out the breed of the dog
is almost as irrelevant as asking what everyone’s horoscope sign is or if they
had eaten cheese recently.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">If it is discovered that the dog
was of the Pit Bull type, what will that prove?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">I believe it shows that the
Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 was a complete failure on every level.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">The Government singled out one
type of dog particularly and pretty much tried to ban it to ‘protect the
public’.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">The Act was meant to ensure that
all Pit Bulls would die out in a generation as all were to be neutered or
killed. Yet we have very many more than we ever had in 1991.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Why? Because no matter what the
Government said, the public still wanted to own these dogs.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">If the Government couldn’t
achieve even this simple measurable effect with the DDA – what use was it? How
did it protect this innocent child?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">And what use further legislation
if the people we seek to protect are choosing (with eyes wide open to media
vilification of these dogs) to live alongside them in their homes and even
breed more of them?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">We wouldn’t tolerate human
legislation that relied purely on looks or race?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Yet every talking head, on every
media outlet, is now baying for even more knee jerk legislation to further
restrict these devilish dogs from tricking us into thinking that they are
really children’s nannies.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">In my opinion, the only way to
make babies safer is for us to be a bit more French and stop hanging monkeys.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Accept the uncomfortable fact
that it was probably Disney that tricked us into thinking that all dogs are
pre-programmed to be child-friendly. We need a wake up call that it is
responsible adults that have a duty of care to keep everyone safe in our homes
– not ineffective government legislation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">And it is every dog owner that
needs to be aware of what needs doing to keep babies and children safe around
their dogs. Not just mums and dads.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">And that is owners of all dogs. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Big, small, fluffy, ugly or cute.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">There are brilliant resources
that can help you make your dog and your home more child safe and coping
strategies to adopt before a baby is born that changes your routines to ones
that are logical even when you are tired and stressed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">How about we give this important
life-saving information to GPs and antenatal classes? Teach it in school so the
next generation know.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Wouldn’t that save a lot more
lives than even more ineffective legislation that no one can apply and our
unhealthy media obsession with canine racism?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Great advice here: <a href="http://familypaws.com/">http://familypaws.com</a> and</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">We could always just keep hanging
monkeys of course, if it makes us sleep more soundly – or muzzle them and
license them. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #10131a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Yes, that's obviously the answer
- a national monkey license!</span><span lang="EN-US"></span></div>

Our review of doggie tech got picked up by Sky News show #Swipe... here's what the presenter said about her day out filming the show!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">There are so many things that can go wrong when you're out filming. There's bad weather, logistical mishaps, non-compliant guests, forgetting important scripts or props, breaking things....the list goes on. So what an absolute pleasure it was to turn up in leafy Chobham for a packed morning of filming for our Sky News technology show Swipe, and have everything fall into place wonderfully.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">One of our producers, Angela Barnes (seen above with Oscar!), had come up with the great idea of delving into the world of 'pet tech' for an episode of Swipe, and as I began my research for the programme, it suddenly dawned on me what a huge and constantly growing area this was. As Beverley put it so perfectly- while I interviewed her in her gorgeously spacious garden- the pet tech market is "going ballistic" right now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Angela, cameraman Pete and I had a great time filming Beverley's pooches Tess, Betty and Oscar. Tess did a particularly sterling job of demonstrating a GoPro Fetch (and it's durability with a leap in the pond!), a device that lets you record video from a camera attached your dog.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Or rather - where was my MP yesterday?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Did you ask your MP to speak up and attend yesterday's debate on puppy and kitten farming?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I know I did (still no reply from Mr Gove or his assistant....).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">According to Hansard, only 54 MPs out of the 650 we elected spoke - and by the looks of this photo, everyone who was there said something as I can't see 54 people in this photo! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And one of those MPs only said two sentences - one of which was to say that his own dogs didn't love him! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here is a photo of the streaming of the debate... can you spot your MP? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1XeHSGMePsuxGKTAE5LRYACdO2Sv3Fl7zpkBLzUlbVVKdLS1rvtAiX6_3bnXK5QxwGLdwY_RzOW-o_rWERl71b_uHKCWzUAX4hbmMdDpNQ3HDi3YyagExyqG16cO7LVYLGYCFt0a22f0/s1600/Number+of+MPs.tiff" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1XeHSGMePsuxGKTAE5LRYACdO2Sv3Fl7zpkBLzUlbVVKdLS1rvtAiX6_3bnXK5QxwGLdwY_RzOW-o_rWERl71b_uHKCWzUAX4hbmMdDpNQ3HDi3YyagExyqG16cO7LVYLGYCFt0a22f0/s1600/Number+of+MPs.tiff" height="247" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">At least some MPs understood that this was something of major significance - that their constituents really cared about.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 17px;">Conservative Justin Tomlinson said: "</span><span style="font-size: 16.63px;">Interestingly, my Facebook page </span>with the article on the campaign attracted over 60,000 views and 534 shares, which is 10 times more than for anything I have done before."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">(<i>Isn't that a depressing revelation! Any decent post on our Facebook page gets many more views, shares and likes. How disenfranchised are we? Have we given up on our politicians?</i>)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Why did so few MPs turn out?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While it was sweet to hear some of the MPs telling us the names of their dogs and one begging his Pugs to be judged kindly at the next Westminster Dog of the Year show, it was all rather patronising really when dogs and cats are dying and owners are suffering. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And the van loads of underage, illegal puppies roll in unchecked from Eastern Europe -pouring into our ports and into our pet shops and on to the Internet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A small group of MPs saying 'we really must do something and lets talk about this some more' didn't help me sleep better at nights, how about you?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A few had bothered to do some research, Caroline Lucas of the Green Party was very impressive... but maybe almost everyone else was just terrified that if they said something meaningful they may actually end up in position where they might actually have to implement something...!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A few issues ago I wrote about forming our own Puppy Party and fielding some candidates at the next election. Coming up with a proper Dogifesto that at the very least would give those MPs with an appetite for tackling the dog problems in society a clear vision of what to do. Let's do a UKIP and get a much-ignored policy higher up the political agenda so everyone wants to get involved.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you are keen for change and would either like to stand as a candidate or to help canvas support and join the party, do email me with all your details as I fear even with a massive petition delivered to Downing Street, and this parliamentary debate, any real progress on dog issues still seems a very, very distant dream. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Put 'Puppy Party' in the subject and email beverley@dogstodaymagazine.co.uk</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Listening to that debate was at times almost as excruciating as it must have been for the poor person who marked my Chemistry mock O level all those years ago. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I confess I had done no revision as I knew I was going to be bunking off to go to Crufts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But the teachers (who saw Crufts on the TV and had had long ago spotted I took days off sick at this time every year) had surprised me by making me sit the exam on my own the first morning I returned to school. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was in trouble, I had no residual interest in the subject at all so had to cram if I was ever to pass. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Faced with a blank page I just peppered my paper with chemical sounding things. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I just felt that several of those MPs were standing up doing just as I had... filling in the dead space by telling us anecdotes about their pets in a similar unprepared way to the way I had waffled through that exam... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It was not good enough for my mock O level and it certainly was not good enough for the dogs (and cats) of Britain.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's who spoke by party:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">31 Conservatives</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">16 Labour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3 Lib Dems</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 Labour/Co-op</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 Green</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 Plaid Cymru</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Can you find your MP? Do drop them a line if not and encourage those that did turn up.</span><br />

I have lived with children with severe learning difficulties in a very busy house, and with another dog. I am much prettier than my photo, but I won’t keep still long enough for anyone to take one – I’m too busy seeing if the photographer has treats! I would love to live with an active family who like to get out and about as much as I do. You can watch videos of me training at the Iron Mountain website.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I’ve been at Battersea over a year – the Home never puts on a limit on how long it takes to rehome a cat or dog – and I’m a real favourite in the offices where I spend a day or two a week chilling out, being good-natured and friendly, well-mannered and very affectionate. For someone who looks like they ate all the pies, I’m actually a delicate and discerning eater – I once said no to a Bonio! Like my namesake Cleopatra, I am very beautiful, with carefully applied eyeliner, and would like to be building my own little homely kingdom soon.</span></div>

In both places where I work there are opportunities should you be interested in a doggie job!<br />
<br />
At <b>Dogs Today</b> we have an opening for an entry level job, <b>Editorial Assistant</b>. We need someone able to multitask and throw themselves into being a team player. To be just as good and keen on writing as they are at doing the essential admin.<br />
<b>Warning:</b> You will need to be able to get to work and survive on a low wage. Dog mags sadly do not pay well, but being on a small publication you get to do very much more proper editorial stuff than you would ever do as an editorial assistant on a massive glamorous mag like Glamour or Cosmo.<br />
We are based in Chobham which is in Surrey, near Woking and it is not accessible by public transport, that means you have to drive.<br />
This would be a perfect intern- to-perm opportunity as make yourself indispensible and you'll be just that!<br />
We are moving office and growing so there may be more than one of these vacancies.<br />
Some use of Excel, franking machines etc so you need to be able to have a maths head sometimes. We're Mac based.<br />
If you can do whizzy things with social media and web we'd love it, but most of all we want a team player with solid literacy skills that will work as a happy team until the edition is put to bed and answer the phone to our lovely readers in a compassionate caring way if they need our help.<br />
If you want to be a feature writer, get all the admin done that needs doing and yes you will get your byline in the magazine and build up you portfolio.<br />
You'll also be organising photoshoots and cuddling pups... there are perks! But it is hard work and we need brilliant people as our existing staff are wonderful!<br />
<br />
We also have an opening for a dynamic, tenacious, charming <b>ad sales person</b> to join our team. It will be office-based and full-time. There is a decent basic but there's a commission element, too that rewards you hitting attainable targets. You'll be dealing with everything from multinationals and agencies to new start ups who will need much hand-holding as they take their first steps into advertising their products and you'll be selling across the newstrade editions and online.<br />
23 years of track record, great team of people and exciting new developments and an office move into a lovely new office in central Chobham in the next few weeks.<br />
<br />
And in my other job, CEO at the charity <b>Hounds for Heroes</b>, I'm just wondering is there anyone out there who'd like to do a bit of <b>interning with a twist</b> - you could mainly work at home if you're too far away from Ramsdean, Hants as we don't have Macs or any design programmes at HQ anyway! I really would love to be able to bounce some ideas off someone with a bit of time to polish up some proposals and work up some presentations etc. So many ideas, so little time and I can't always keep pinching my lovely Dogs Today staff to work for nothing!<br />
Anyone done any 3-D pattern design for example? Bit of a long shot! Looking for some pro-bono work on some projects that at the moment are only in my head!<br />
Might suit someone doing a degree and wanting an interesting case study or project? Maybe someone doing business studies? Do people do needlework degrees - not really fashion, but that might be interesting too! Lots of opportunities for bright sparks who might want to include us in their studies!<br />
<br />
There's also a dog training job being advertised at Hounds for Heroes at the moment - click here for all the spec and how to apply....<a href="http://houndsforheroes.com/get-involved/vacancies/">http://houndsforheroes.com/get-involved/vacancies/</a><br />
<br />
To discuss any of the above please do email me a CV and some background information beverley@dogstodaymagazine.co.uk for the Dogs Today vacancies and beverleycuddy@houndsforheroes.com for the the charity opportunities.<br />

I am sorry for the lack of blogging of late.<br />
I have a new job.<br />
I know.<br />
Pick yourself up off the floor, now.<br />
After 23 years of being the Editor of Dogs Today and saying I already had the best job in the world it's an unlikely statement.<br />
Someone once said to me many years ago, "you have your head in the clouds, but your feet on the floor," which made me answer: "Am I very tall or do I just jump up and down a lot?"<br />
I am still trying to work out what they meant and whether it was an insult, but I think it means that I still dream of a better world while inhabiting the real one.<br />
Let me just point out I'm still Publisher and majority shareholder of the magazine, I'm just letting someone else sit in the Editor's chair and have their chance to do the best job in the world.<br />
Someone really perfect who has already shown their good heart and special skills.<br />
And sensible girl, she's not even choosing to sit in my actual Editor's chair. It is one of those 1970s-esque black fake leather executive efforts that was on very special offer via Viking the stationers very many years ago and looked a lot more comfortable than it is in reality!<br />
I'm now four weeks into my new job which has a very normal sensible chair and the job (not the furniture) is very different than I perceived it would be.<br />
After 23 years of having no bosses the role of CEO is very different.<br />
You are neither boss, nor employee.<br />
I feel I need to join a club of other CEOs to ask them strange probably trivial questions about protocol.<br />
So what is the new job?<br />
And why now?<br />
Why never apply for a job in 23 years and then in a blink of an eye start working somewhere entirely different?<br />
It is THE only other job I'd ever wanted.<br />
I met Allen Parton and Endal in 1999 and I was totally sure that their inspirational story would change the world.<br />
I had no inkling that 13 or 14 years later their story would change my world, too.<br />
But that is what has happened.<br />
I've watched from the sidelines and encouraged and cheered on, but now I'm on the pitch and this is a football analogy and I am so allergic to sport.<br />
Allen and Endal have already featured in this blog a great deal over the years and I am sure you know all about the charity he founded Hounds for Heroes as I am always going on about it.<br />
Well they needed a CEO and the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to do it.<br />
It is the most challenging and exciting job imaginable.<br />
After years of a monthly cycle of building something new every few weeks from scratch I will be part of creating something that will last for hopefully centuries.<br />
Allen had the incredible clarity of vision to create a charity that could bring the Endal effect to those who had been injured after serving their Queen and Country, be they in the forces or the emergency services.<br />
He needs you and I to make it the best charity in the world.<br />
And just as I couldn't stand on the sidelines a moment longer I hope you will do the same and get involved, help shape the future.<br />
They need puppy parents - at first locally near the HQ in Petersfield, Hants.<br />
Would be amazing to also find some people able to short term foster dogs - people with good dog training skills, too. And what we call B&B-ers. People who can take an older dog for weekends or holidays. (Great for people who work in the week who love a dog but can't.)<br />
And we need brilliant people to help out in the office, too. I'd love to hear from any recent graduates that could be interns or anyone with skills that a growing charity might need. Anyone with experience in fundraising.<br />
Or even someone who would like to help drive Allen and EJ to the events they attend, now that would be a great job!<br />
And if you're not local, can you fund raise?<br />
Could you become a speaker who tells others about the Endal effect and how brilliant this charity is?<br />
I have a new email address (old one still works, too): beverleycuddy@houndsforheroes.com<br />
And the new editor of Dogs Today is, of course, my deputy Rachael Millar and her email address is rachael@dogstodaymagazine.co.uk<br />
I am on holiday at the moment (was booked before I took the job), which is probably why I have had at last had the time to blog. But as always I have wifi!<br />
In the meantime if you want to know more about Hounds for Heroes the website is: http://houndsforheroes.com and there are downloads for puppy parenting and volunteers.<br />
Wish me luck and any other CEOs out there, can we compare notes?<br />

<h3>
The ASA ruling in full...</h3>
<div class="ExternalClassC12D78FE30264365B000DE48C7E6E7AA">
A TV ad, for Wm Morrison Supermarkets, featured a family at a
festively decorated dining table. A young boy was given a plate of
Christmas pudding, looked at it disdainfully, and passed it down the
table to a younger boy. The boy gave the pudding to a dog that was sat
beside him. The dog took the pudding, whimpered, and dropped the pudding
in a plant pot. The plant sighed and wilted. A voice-over stated, "Not
everyone loves traditional Christmas pud. So Morrisons have a cherry
chocolate gateau, an exclusive white Christmas pudding and a sparkly
snow-capped baked Alaska."</div>
<h3>
Issue</h3>
<div class="ExternalClass2FFB436AB579468FB03BD16AE8D046B1">
The ASA received 234 complaints, including a number from vets, veterinary nurses and others who worked with dogs.<br />
The complainants challenged whether the ad was irresponsible and
harmful, because it implied it was acceptable to feed Christmas pudding
to dogs, and some complainants also were concerned the ad could
encourage children to feed Christmas pudding to dogs. The complainants
understood that Christmas pudding contained ingredients which were
potentially lethal to dogs.</div>

<h3>
Response</h3>
<div class="ExternalClassF83EF18D1E7B4270BA3A3A9FD79C72D1">
Wm Morrison Supermarkets (Morrisons) said the ad was intended to
light-heartedly reflect the fact that not everyone liked Christmas
pudding. The dog was shown clearly rejecting the pudding and disposing
of it in a plant pot in a dismissive manner. They felt the ad conveyed
the message that dogs did not like Christmas pudding and would not wish
to eat that type of food. They said they would never condone or
encourage anyone to feed Christmas pudding (or any other non-standard
canine diet food) to dogs.<br />
Morrisons acknowledged that advice from the Veterinary Poisons
Information Centre suggested that "a handful" of grapes, raisins or
sultanas could cause some dogs to suffer kidney failure. <b>However, they
had received written advice from a vet, who was a former president of
the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, that there would be minimal,
if any, risk to a dog of serious toxic reaction if it were fed a small
amount of Christmas pudding in relation to its bodyweight on a one-off
basis.</b> They provided a copy of that advice.<br />
The vet, who was also present during filming of the ad, advised
that cases of toxicity apparently caused by ingestion of raisins or
grapes had been reported in the past 10 to 15 years, but that the
condition did not affect all dogs, was not conclusively related to the
ingestion of grapes or raisins, had not been reproduced experimentally,
and the toxic mechanism was not fully understood. Reported cases did not
reference cooked fruit and the implication was therefore that cases had
only arisen in respect of raw fruit. It was likely that where toxicity
had arisen it was because dogs had accidentally gained access to large
quantities of raw fruit.<br />
The vet advised that the dog in the ad would have to eat 1 to 2.5
lb (c. 0.5 to 1kg) of raw raisins or grapes for the risk of toxicity to
be a concern. Morrisons calculated that, even in a worse-case scenario,
the dog in the ad would have to have consumed more than one of their
largest Christmas puddings with the highest concentration of fruit in
order for toxicity to be a risk.<br />
Clearcast said that when animals were used in ads they requested
an assurance from a qualified person to attest to the well-being of the
animals on set; in this instance they requested an assurance that it was
safe for the dog to be offered Christmas pudding, carry it to the plant
and deposit it there. They also highlighted the written advice given by
the veterinary surgeon.<br />
Clearcast said the dog's rejection of the pudding showed the
circumstance of a dog being fed Christmas pudding in an unfavourable
light; that was reinforced by the voice-over stating, "Not everyone
loves traditional Christmas pud". They considered the message of the ad
was that dogs did not like Christmas pudding, and for that matter nor
did plants. The ad did not condone feeding Christmas pudding to dogs and
did not present it as a reward or treat for the dog. They had approved
the ad because of the expert opinion of a member of the Royal College of
Veterinary Surgeons, the lack of conclusive evidence available for
cooked fruit in relation to toxicity to dogs, the rejection of the
pudding by the dog, and the uniqueness of the festive situation depicted
in the ad.</div>
<h3>
Assessment</h3>
<div class="ExternalClass1756FCAC3960468795FE47BF00997DE2">
Not upheld<br />
The ASA agreed that the ad depicted the circumstance of a dog
being fed Christmas pudding in an unfavourable light: the boy passed the
pudding to the dog in a surreptitious manner, and the dog then did not
eat the slice of Christmas pudding. The voice-over also emphasised that
"Not everyone loves traditional Christmas pud". We considered it was
clear that, in feeding the dog, the boy was doing something he was not
supposed to, and it was also clear that the dog had rejected the
pudding. We considered it unlikely that viewers, including children,
would interpret it to mean that dogs liked Christmas pudding or that it
was appropriate to feed Christmas pudding to dogs. Furthermore, we
understood that, because the ad was for foods which were high in fat,
salt and sugar (HFSS foods), it had been given an 'ex-kids' restriction,
which meant that it would not be broadcast in or around children's
programmes, and therefore the number of children who saw the ad would
have been limited.<br />
Whilst we noted the complainants' concerns that dog owners might
not be aware of the possible toxicity of grapes and raisins (and other
foods) to dogs, we considered that dog owners would be aware that they
should not feed their dogs foods which did not form part of a standard
canine diet, and that it was the responsibility of parents to educate
their children that they should not feed unsuitable food to dogs.<br />
We concluded the ad was not irresponsible and did not condone or encourage viewers to feed Christmas pudding to dogs.<br />
We investigated under BCAP Code rules 1.2 (Responsible advertising) and 4.4 (Harm and offence), but did not find it in breach.</div>

Are you prepared to talk about it?<br />
Radio 4 You and Yours are going to cover puppy farming and puppy traffiking and are very keen to talk to people who have encountered this trade.<br />
Many people only realise afterwards that the pup they bought was battery farmed and we need to find people who are prepared to tell their story so that others can avoid the misery.<br />
Did you buy your dog online?<br />
Did the 'breeder' offer to deliver your dog or meet you half way?<br />
Did you ever see your dog's mother?<br />
Chances are, if so, your dog came from a puppy farm.<br />
Did your pup have health or behaviour problems? Did the breeder refuse to take your calls or help you in any way? Was their only interest how you were going to pay?<br />
Are you feeling guilty for messing up? Stop beating yourself up and help change things. <br />
Breeding of dogs is pretty much unregulated. The only licenses that local authorities issue are to do more with physical housing than animal welfare.<br />
In Sweden dogs are protected by excellent consumer legislation with teeth.<br />
Dogs are sold with a puppy contract. <br />
Huge simplification, but If anything goes wrong in the first three years the breeder pays - dogs come effectively with a three year warranty and that means no one breeds just to make a quick buck or does it shoddily. You have to be as professional as possible or you're going to end up in court paying out a lot of compensation. And if you insure as most good breeders do - your premiums would be unaffordable if you were to rear in battery conditions that put pups at risk of disease and behaviour issues.<br />
Wouldn't that be good here - if we could change things by making bad breeding simply uneconomic?<br />
It would mean fewer people breeding and those that do continue being encouraged to breed happy, healthy. sociable dogs by effective legislation that means if pups aren't fit for the purpose of being a pet dog the breeder can get taken to court.<br />
Did you buy a dog that wasn't fit for purpose?<br />
Did it break your heart and empty your bank account?<br />
Please share your experience.<br />
Let's get people asking why Britain - a supposed nation of dog lovers - so badly lets down our best friends.<br />
It allows them to be swapped for inanimate objects on Gumtree (the dog being swapped for a dining room table was still up earlier despite Rachael in our office bringing it to Gumtree's press office's attention several days ago).<br />
Or people traffick dozens of pups in buckets where some will die in the crush...<br />
Please, please share your stories.<br />
Let's get this stopped. <br />
My email is beverley@dogstodaymagazine.co.uk<br />
Please let me put you in touch with You and Yours so you can try to save other dogs and families from this misery.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Can you help us with one of our next features? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Claire Horton-Bussey is writing about the Hounds of Love. Ben Fogle and Davina McCall both met the person they were to marry walking their dogs. Has a dog proved to be significant in finding love for you, too? We want to know! (Names can be changed if shy).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Or conversely, have dogs split you up?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Has your dog ever refused to allow your significant other into the bedroom?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Did your dogs hate each other on sight?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Do your breeds of dog need to be compatible to make it work? Which breeds and their owners definitely don't work? Hairy dog owners attracting only other hairies? How about giant breeds and toys? Working and Utility?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Have you ever found love at a dog show? Has a judge caught your eye as he's pointed to the winning spot? Has a fellow exhibitor lent you a comb and it's led to a brush with love?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Have you fallen for someone actually allergic to your dogs? Is loving dogs just a really promising sign that you'll agree on other subjects? Does it mean that they at least have a track record of loving someone other than themselves?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Share your theories and histories with claire@dogstodaymagazine.co.uk who is hoping for some tremendous love stories and great anecdotes!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">(Get a pot of tea on Claire, sounds like you'll enjoy this one!)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We discovered our ad man Mike had met his wife on a dog walk when we were discussing this feature. They've been together 40 years and now have a gorgeous Standard Poodle and lots of grand kids...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Please share your stories for our Valentine issue... and if you are looking for love, talk to Claire about it, maybe we can have a lonely hearts column for just this issue.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Did any of you go on Sky's Date Me Date My Dog? How did it go? I know several of you were contemplating it... Please cross post and share widely. Spread the love or at least the request for it!</span></span></div>

I’ve been in Rescue for over a year now which my carers say they are
very surprised about. I love the company of people and get quite
stressed if left on my own for long periods of time.<br />
I’d love an owner with a lot of time on their hands; I’ll thank you with my devotion and wagging tail! <br />
My new year’s resolution is to find a loving new home where I can play
lots of games of fetch – could you help me make it come true?</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"><i>I
am the busiest dog in the world! I like to train, and play games,
and love my obedience classes here in Leeds. I have lived with
children with severe learning difficulties in a very busy house, and
with another dog. I am much prettier than my photo, but I won’t keep
still long enough for anyone to take one – I’m too busy seeing if
the photographer has treats! I would love to live with an active
family who like to get out and about as much as I do. You can watch
videos of me training at the Iron Mountain website.</i></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>I’ve
been at Battersea over a year – the Home never puts on a limit on
how long it takes to rehome a cat or dog – and I’m a real favourite
in the offices where I spend a day or two a week chilling out, being
good-natured and friendly, well-mannered and very affectionate. For
someone who looks like they ate all the pies, I’m actually a
delicate and discerning eater – I once said no to a Bonio! Like my
namesake Cleopatra, I am very beautiful, with carefully applied
eyeliner, and would like to be building my own little homely kingdom
soon.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I was asked to write a balancing piece on Cesar Millan for the Mail on Sunday but it was heavily chopped and didn't have the 10 points of how to spot a CM copycat trainer.... so here's the link to paper and the positive Cesar interview and the somewhat altered one from me (even spelled my name wrong online.... only used to write a column for them for eight years, but hey ho!)</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2224252/Yes-I-punch-dogs-electric-shocks--Im-NOT-cruel-says-Hollywoods-favourite-pet-guru-Cesar-Millan.html">Cesar in the Mail</a></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> The unsubbed article I emailed.... </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">There’s a long queue
of people eager to stab Cesar in the back. His loyal fans claim we’re all just
jealous of his fame and fortune – but there’s a lot more to it than that. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Cesar is a proper modern-day
gladiator. People love to see him wrestle with snarling animals – he calls them
his ‘red zone cases’. Clips of him being bitten are shared rabidly across the
Internet.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">He actually gets paid
to punch and kick dogs on TV, without getting arrested! In his defence he
claims he’s merely ‘touching’ them. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Alan Titchmarsh didn’t
let him get away with that excuse on his TV show this week. Alan said he’s seen
Henry Cooper touch people like that and it hurts! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">If Cesar thinks a
‘kick’ to the kidneys is a ‘touch with the foot’ does he think a war is a
massage with bullets? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">As Sinitta would say,
he’s just so macho. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">He’s completely instinctual
and unscientific. He’s just made all his theories up as he’s gone along. Forget
operant and classical conditioning, flooding or learned helplessness, and boring
things like qualifications. He’s got much more interesting celebrity
endorsements and the best teeth that money can buy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">And best of all he
wrestles with powerful dogs that sometimes bite him. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Proper, positive,
scientific, qualified dog trainers won’t do that for the cameras.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Apart from the tweed
skirt, there’s not much difference between Barbara Woodhouse and Cesar - if you
stay away from his Red Zone. And bless her, Barbara was training dogs 35 years
ago when none of us knew any better. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Things really should have
moved on. American boffins wanted to teach dolphins to do subversive things with
weapons and they pretty quickly picked up on the fact that rewards worked a lot
better than punishment. It all there in the history books of animal training.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">But someone pleasant
using a clicker and a bit of cheese probably isn’t going to get you sitting on
the edge of your sofa. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Much more visually
interesting watching Cesar zapping a dog with electric shocks, tightening up a prong
collar so the spikes go into a naughty dog’s neck. You’ll never see lovely Victoria
Stilwell kicking and punching (sorry ‘touching’!) a dog to get respect (or
ratings). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">On Sky News this week Cesar
told Eamonn Holmes that electric collars were great for people with
disabilities to use on their dogs. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Apart from Welsh
people, obviously. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Everyone forgot to
mention that. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Use a shock collar in
Wales and you can get 6 months in prison or a £20,000 fine. Hopefully our creaky
animal welfare laws will catch up soon, too. For dog’s sake.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">While Cesar’s X-rated red
zone clashes are badged “Don’t try this at home,” sadly many people do. Cesar’s
‘calm assertive’ overpowering masculinity may stop him being too badly bitten,
but sadly less assertive types can end up in A&E after a one-way trip to
the vets with their soon to be ex-best friend. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">And that’s the core of
the problem, Cesar is at best a very guilty pleasure. But he’s not strictly entertainment
– people will try to emulate his methods. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">But when we copy our other
TV heroes things don’t go anywhere near as badly wrong. Imitate Jamie Oliver’s
signature dish and you can always order a take away when we it all goes less
than lovely jubbly. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">And how many people
have actually posed as a surgeon after watching Grey’s Anatomy? Hopefully very
few! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Yet Cesar Millan
copycats - whose only qualification is usually watching his show - are breaking
dogs in every town and city and calling themselves varients of ‘dog botherers’.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">But, just as they probably
don’t have his gorgeous Hollywood smile - they also don’t have the benefit of
his ‘calm assertiveness’ or crucially his editorial control to deliver the required
happy ending <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that pet owners dream of.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Here’s 10 ways to spot
a CM clone…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">1 If they Alpha roll
your dog. Anyone going on about being the alpha male isn’t up to date on proper
wolf hierarchy. And if dogs are really wolves – we’re all just monkeys.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">2 “Touching” your dog
with either their fist or a boot. Suppressing bad behaviour with aversion won’t
cure it, just drives the problem deeper</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">3 <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Uses an electric shock collar to teach a dog
what is wrong. Many dogs become paranoid and aggressive after being zapped.
They’re illegal in Wales for very good reasons.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">4 Approves of pinch,
prong or choke collars. Anyone who teaches a dog what is wrong rather than what
is right is on the wrong track</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">5 Claims your dog is
trying to dominate you if he just jumps on the sofa. It’s not just Gary Glitter
who made us uncomfortable about going on about the ‘leader of the pack’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">6 Anyone who goes
“pssstttt” at your dog is a Cesar Millan fan. Tell them to Pssstttt off.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">7 Suggests you invest
in a treadmill. Cesar is a huge fan of this type of exercise, but dogs really
do love a good sniff on a walk, to them it’s like reading a newspaper. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">8 Anyone who offers you
a quick fix to a complex problem is probably using punishment techniques. Like
pulling up a weed, you will hide the problem and it’ll probably re-emerge twice
as strong next time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">9 Has no
qualifications apart from the school of life and a box set of Cesar’s last
series. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">10 Has no affiliation
with any group that is a member of the Animal Behaviour and Training Council (</span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://www.abtcouncil.org.uk/"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span lang="EN-US">www.abtcouncil.org.uk</span></span></a></span><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">). The only industry regulatory body with any
teeth. </span></div>

friends from this sort of abuse.</span>

The first doggie dinner at Gaucho's Hampstead was a huge success with 31 dogs and 79 humans having a very memorable day. We are still hearing rave reviews. This is a VERY exciting restaurant and it is just so amazing that they are dog friendly! Here's some photos from the day. <br />

Front cover is the gorgeous Benny from Paul O'Grady's hit show For the Love of Dogs. Benny was the shy Rottie cross that had to overcome his fears to find a new home.<br />
My editorial talks about another doggie TV show, Top Dog Model on ITV2. Just watched the latest episode and it was quite gripping after a shaky start! Did your favourite win?<br />
Some nudity in our news section for a change... but it's all for a good cause! Hounds for Heroes calendar... no not Allen getting his kit off - check out <a href="http://www.hilostmyclothes.com/">http://www.hilostmyclothes.com/</a> for more details!<br />
Rachael Millar writes a powerful article on the history and future of Dog Lost and we include the first of our regular columns - Lost and Found. Each month we'll feature two long lost dogs and one found.<br />
Rachael also got to chat to lovely Ben Fogle this month, we've watched Ben grow up as dad Bruce has written for our mag since 1990!<br />
And over the page there is proud dad Bruce! He's written this month about his family's love of Labradors.<br />
Which fits in really well with Adopt Me this month, we've got loads of lovely Labradors looking for homes as well as lots of older dogs.<br />
I loved writing about Paul O'Grady and his fantastic new show. I got the chance of getting the gossip of what it was like working with Paul and we've followed up what happened to some of the dogs featured in this fantastic show.<br />
Rachael is back again with a great feature on cover dog Benny - now called Barney!<br />
We've got a new sponsor for Adopt me - 8in1 and they're going to give a welcome home gift to every dog homes through our section! Wow!<br />

Karen Wild tells us how we can make mortal enemies cats and dogs the best of friends!<br />
We have a wonderful feature of Medical Detection Dogs - wow! You will want to read this. Don't want to give too much away, but this is a charity that is just really taking off. All credit to Claire Guest and her personal story is amazing. As she says - so much synchronicity going on! <br />
Lovely vet Richard Allport gives you some ideas of the best books to read if you're interested in natural pet care.<br />
Good Boy is an inspiring story of a little dog can make a massive difference!<br />
Sarah Whitehead looks at scaredy dogs and how to deal with fears and phobias.<br />

Victoria Stilwell on the power of play - may just look like fun, but it has huge benefits.<br />
Terry Doe continues his contemplation of whether responsible people are often just too daunted to take the plunge and get a rescue dog while less cerebral types are jumping in without a second thought and making a lot of splash-back.<br />
I Want One - win loads of good stuff this month. A portrait, a great new bed, Lily's Kitchen's new no grain dog food, Loads of squeezy Kong toys, 24 Nature Menu pouches, a bandana, a Doggie dressing gown that will dry your dog - great idea! And some fantastic pupcakes from the petpooch boutique!<br />
Appeals will tug on your heartstrings as usual, and we feature Remus a Bulldog pup with the most terrible hips... sad story. <br />
With Firework night fast approaching we go through the options to help you get through it... Christine in our office spends all year planning as her dogs hate the bangs so much.<br />
Going green - we highlight the best eco-friendly dog ideas. Fascinating!<br />
Did you know there are two types of Corgi? There's not just the Pembrokes that the Queen has. We put the limelight on the rarer Cardigan Corgi and they were throughly charming.<br />
Allen Parton bring us up to date with Hounds for Heroes latest news. <br />
We look at Puppy farming and two very different ways of bringing the message to the public. Pup Aid and the 7 days event.<br />
Think Tank asks and answers - what questions should you ask when you are choosing a new vet? Heart problems, poor appetite in older dogs, what to do when there's a dog at training class who hates your dog, muddy paw solutions ways to show people your dog doesn't like other dogs, homeopathic antyi-anxiety ideas, shedding issues.. you name it!<br />
Then there's the caption - great pic this month, just saying! - cross question, strange but true, crossword and Louise Harris is on Pat on the Back - did not know that her dog Lola was no longer married... after that big wedding as well!<br />

<br />
So what's in the mag? The front cover in itself is a work of art to start with. Richard Horsfield is a photographer/artist that we've only recently discovered. (His Cane Corso Neo was featured in Sept's caption competition).<br />
The cover is a digital painting of Richard's much missed Dobermann Tzen. Two years ago Tzen had a terrible accident - he broke his back on wet grass and sadly had to be put to sleep. We are very honoured to have this incredible tribute to Tzen on our cover.<br />
<br />
My editorial letter is mostlytalking about the climax of our campaign against Lloyds and Halifax - if you remember they made a speedy retreat from pet insurance. The Ombudsman's latest response to this drama has been far from helpful.<br />
<br />
Our news section is action packed as always and the main story of the month has to be our article about websites which carry free ads for pets and allow all sorts of horror stories to unfold.<br />
<br />
It's a very strong piece and Rachael Miller has moved the debate along and opened up discussions with the press offices of all the usual suspects. A must read.<br />
<br />
We have the last push for the Dogs Dinner, a really fun way to raise money for Hounds for Heroes,<br />
<br />
We've got a couple of pages on rescuing Podencos next to a couple of pages of Podencos who very much would like to be rescued... what a coincidence!<br />
There are 53 dogs looking for a home this month including a Bulldog called Bird and a Husky named after a Gold medal winner.<br />
There are loads of others that we've all fallen in love with. Proof reading these pages gets us all falling in love again and again...<br />
<br />
Some cracking Happy Endings stories to read - they always make us very happy!<br />
<br />
Rachael Millar has been busy this month and the Tripawds feature which will cheer your heart. Watching the Paralympics has made everyone realise that you need to concentrate on what you can do, rather than what you can't and these amputee dogs are living life to the full on three legs and we've even got a Tripawd looking for a new home should you feel totally convinced... Grace does look a real sweety - just saying!<br />
<br />
Our Good Boy story this month is an uplifting story of another three legged dog.... we don't just throw this magazine together you know!<br />
<br />
Jemima Harrison has written us a brilliant article on recall. Anyone who has any trouble getting their dogs back should give it a read. Jemima had a masterclass from Pippa Mattinson and passes on some of the best tips. There's a really special offer on Pippa's new book <i>Total Recall</i>.<br />
<br />
Alternative vet Richard Allport's column gives news of there being finally some scientific evidence that natural food is good for dogs and also points out that there's a drug being used that perhaps isn't such good news... he does like to push the boundaries does our Richard!<br />
<br />
Lovely behaviour specialist vet Jon Bowen gives some sound ideas for getting prepared to cope with fireworks. Well worth reading.<br />
<br />
Peter Neville deals with Whippets that don't come back when called - this month you really are spoiled for advice if you are having trouble getting your dog to come when called. <br />
<br />
Vet and behaviour expert Hannah Lyon tackles how to deal with a dog that hates vets... it really is awful when you've got a dog that's poorly that gets even more stressed about going to the vet. Very good article.<br />
<br />
Sarah Whitehead gets the 'best headline ever' award... Fifty Shades of Spay. She unearths more evidence that maybe puts neutering in the spotlight.<br />
<br />
The lovely folk at Honey's - (who you might remember were until recently called Darling's) are giving an amazing half price offer on their hampers. A perfect intro to raw feeding. So so have a read!<br />
<br />
Gina Stokes is brushing up your doggie dancing with some more umbrella moves... would have worked really well in the Paralympics opening ceremony come to think of it!<br />
<br />
Some people forget we have an Insurance Doctor - if you have ANY insurance questions or queries Neil Flint really is THE man. No one knows more about pet insurance,<br />
<br />
Dog trainer to the stars Karen Wild grills Dragon Deborah Meaden about her three Hungarian Vizslas. We discover why these are the perfect dogs for Deborah but why she doesn't think people should fall for their looks alone as they need very special owners.<br />
<br />
Guide Dogs encourage us to Go Walkies with a great new App!<br />
<br />
The one and only Victoria Stilwell tells us how distraction can be the perfect training solution with an anecdote about cheering up her daughter by taking her to the dogs home!<br />
<br />
We've got a Golden Years Special with lots of tips for getting older and wiser and giving Vintage dogs a sparkling old age.<br />
<br />
In our 'I Want one' spread you can win a new bed, a portrait, a doggy bag to dry your dog, some lovely HiLife Nature's Essentials food and even an edible pumpkin treat!<br />
<br />
Allen Parton has been out and about meeting some fantastic supporters and volunteers for Hounds for Heroes.<br />
<br />
Terry Doe gets reflective after losing a much loved relative and wonders if love is the thing we need the most to become good dog owners?<br />
<br />
10 people can win a fantastic and substantial Natures Menu Hamper - you really are spoilt this month aren't you!! Has there ever been a better time to consider a more natural diet?<br />
<br />
Our celeb editor Natalya Anderson gets to spend time with the lovely John Barrowman... it's a hard job, but someone has to do it!<br />
<br />
Loads of Autumnal gifts for you to consider... really interesting stuff.<br />
<br />
Postbag, always a good read - we love getting feedback!<br />
<br />
Fido Facts this month on the Ibizan Hound - aka the Podenco! Bit of a themed issue...<br />
<br />
Appeals this month will tug on your heart strings... <br />
<br />
Pet loss and Obits always make up weepy - but especially this month because beloved Spud is featured. We had Spud on our front cover MANY years ago. You may remember Spud. An Australian Cattle Dog that could skip. RIP Spud.<br />
<br />
Think Tank is full as usual. Older dogs, putting dogs into kennels for the first time, finding the right weight, what to feed a dog with lymphoma, house training an older dog.. lots more, too.<br />
<br />
Caption, cross question and Crossword and Gabby Logan in Pat on the Back.<br />
<br />
132 pages.<br />
But you can have the for the price of 66!<br />
With our new offer! <a href="http://bit.ly/PIUXgA">Click here</a><br />

Can I ask you for your help?<br />
Could you tell a couple of other people about our magazine?<br />
Tell them why you read it?<br />
Can you try to let some new people in on the secret that together we might actually be able to change some things for our best friends?<br />
(The Don't Cook Your Dog campaign is a great example of how uniting the dog world can start to actually save lives. Every person who has felt brave enough to intervene is our hero.)<br />
That we can help each other when things do go wrong. (For eg: When Halifax and Lloyds left pet owners in the lurch by suddenly dropping their cover for life pet insurance we formed a group to fight it and against all odds there was a U turn when everyone stood together.)<br />
That we can all celebrate when things go right? (For eg: We've all watched the amazing Allen and Endal story over the last decade and rejoiced at the birth of Hounds for Heroes...)<br />
<br />
We've put together a really, really special offer where people can buy the next two magazines and get the next one free - anywhere in the world - and they can pay with just a click by PayPal.<br />
<br />
It's never been easier or cheaper.<br />
<br />
Plus we'll be picking one person out of those that take up the offer in the next week to win a copy of Kevin Brockbank's much-loved print The Howl - a doggie version of Munch's famous Scream.<br />
<br />
Here's the link for the special offer.<br />
Please do pass it on!<br />
<a href="http://www.dogstodaymagazine.co.uk/shop_fb.htm" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.dogstodaymagazine.co.uk/shop_fb.htm</a> <br />
<br />
We'd love to reach out and find some lovely dog lovers who don't yet regularly buy our magazine.<br />
<br />
Can you help spread the word and tell people why you read this magazine?<br />
<br />
If it helps to explain why we're different, maybe you can re-tell the story of how we started?<br />
<br />
In 1990 I saw an advert in the Guardian for the launch editor of a new magazine aimed at pet dog owners. I applied and had a grueling interview process with many tests (pre-dating the Apprentice, but similarly fierce!). <br />
Despite being pretty young (almost a baby if you're doing the maths...), I got the best job in the world.<br />
The magazine was the brainwave of Viscount Rothermere, the media mogul who owned the Daily Mail empire. <br />
I was a young girl from Liverpool who had no previous experience of press barons, but I did share something very important with the good lord.<br />
We both loved dogs.<br />
He was an Akita man and his dogs obviously meant the world to him.<br />
One day while driving in France he had a terrible car crash. He was injured and one of his dogs died and the other was so traumatised he ran off.<br />
He sent an urgent message to all his staff.<br />
Anyone who could speak French was told to leave their desks immediately and go to France to look for his lost dog.<br />
The very brilliant journalist who tracked down that very scared dog was given the coveted Hollywood reporting job.<br />
Well wouldn't you do the same in his hand-made shoes? <br />
He and I shared a vision.<br />
We both really valued dogs.<br />
It had been a tense first meeting, he obviously tested me.<br />
I'd stood up to him and told him he was wrong and after that we got on very well.<br />
I wasn't being cheeky, but I was confident when it came to dogs.<br />
He didn't ever frighten me, I could see a twinkle where others only saw steel. <br />
Lord R encouraged me to go on crusades, to try to change things and make life better for dogs.<br />
Sadly, not everyone else in his empire thought our voyage was such a worthy one.<br />
There were some who thought he and I were, quite literally, barking.<br />
I was only the editor and Lord R was very far removed from my every day working life.<br />
I did get used to international phone calls in the early hours when he got excited by something he saw that we could report on - or heaven forbid - if we made a mistake. He really did read every single word we wrote!<br />
Sadly, the business-side of the magazine was somewhat chaotic and beyond my remit.<br />
The project made my very many middle managers very nervous.<br />
Having the ultimate boss taking a close interest meant a lot of nervous tummies for 'the suits'.<br />
Just the hint of a rumour that Lord R might drop into our Windsor offices would cause the management to do mad things like paint the car park, order new office chairs, have his favourite brand of bottled water delivered...<br />
Lord R was someone very few people in my management chain had ever had much to do with. He was a very private man.<br />
Grown men, my bosses, would literally go pale and shake in the lift up to his office in Derry Street.<br />
It made people do strange things to try to impress him...<br />
...like TV advertising for a magazine that retailed at 75pence.<br />
I had never edited a magazine before, I didn't know quite how mad that was.<br />
It was incredibly exciting.<br />
We got really very involved in making the adverts and it was thrilling.<br />
But it was soon painfully obvious that it was simply impossible not to make an enormous loss.<br />
For a start, we didn't print enough copies to capitalise on the new demand.<br />
We had given a sampler edition of the mag away with the Daily Mail and it was one of the most successful campaigns for the paper ever - only putting Diana on the cover shifted more copies of the paper.But next month we'd only put a few thousand extra copies on the shelves. We blew our big chance by not being bold enough. We spent a fortune on the ads yet scrimped on the print bill.<br />
We made a shocking £350,000 loss and the shareholders started to tire of Lord R's very expensive pet project.<br />
On the day Windsor Castle almost burned down, I got the news that we were being made redundant and the title was to close.<br />
All the team went to the pub opposite the castle to moan that the Queen had other houses, but we only had one magazine.<br />
That day we vowed not to let Dogs Today die.<br />
It was heart ruling head. <br />
We'd already started so many campaigns, we badly wanted to keep them going.<br />
We were all sure we had to try. <br />
The next day we all turned up for work as if nothing had happened.<br />
All our colleagues on other titles thought we were quite simply mad.<br />
We started working on the next edition of a magazine that had already closed. <br />
Peter Smith was the first person who told me I could do it.<br />
(You might remember him as the first and very genial newsreader on Channel 4's Big Breakfast.)<br />
He had been the genius behind our TV advertising campaign, he had got to know and love the magazine and realised the thing that connected us and our readers was that we would do anything for dogs. Viscount or homeless person, we were all connected by that bond.<br />
We all knew that the love of a dog was worth a lot more than money.<br />
We were part of a secret club of people who knew dogs were special and deserved much better.<br />
Peter taught me to do spread sheets and budgets and to believe in myself.<br />
He got me to look at the business side of the magazine and figure out a way to make it work.<br />
I don't know where the courage came from, but I told my boss I wanted to buy the magazine.<br />
He laughed.<br />
He told his boss - he laughed a lot!<br />
No one said no, they just passed the request up the line.<br />
Some mad, scouse, doggy, slip of a girl, who had no money or experience wanted to buy a magazine that had already lost a fortune...!<br />
My offer got all the way up to Lord Rothermere, who called me in for a meeting.<br />
He had a big grin on his face, but at least he wasn't laughing. <br />
I had nothing to lose, quite literally.<br />
He looked me straight in the eye and said he'd heard I wanted to buy his magazine and he'd had a word with his financial advisor.<br />
The advisor had told Lord Rothermere that he should sell me the magazine and invest in my new company.<br />
I often think back to the moment and wish I could experience that feeling again.<br />
It was the most unexpected news imaginable.<br />
He asked if I'd like to see his financial advisor.<br />
I think I nodded, unable to form words by this point!<br />
He showed me a photo of his Akita.<br />
Lord Rothermere sold me the magazine for £1 and then invested £10,000 in some shares in my new company Pet Subjects Ltd. At the time I thought it was a vast fortune. To me it was.<br />
I didn't know then, but he'd set it up so I couldn't be damaged if it all went horribly wrong.<br />
He really didn't think I stood a hope in hell of making the magazine profitable - his vast army of experts had all failed, so why would a young girl from Liverpool who had never published a magazine turn that massive loss into a profit?<br />
In retrospect, it was a very fair question indeed.<br />
Rosie Peace (our designer then and now) and Sarah Whitehead (then editorial assistant and now famous behaviourist and Dogs Today columnist) took the giant leap of faith with me.<br />
Looking back £10k was nowhere near enough to float a business.<br />
And I didn't bullshit people that it was. I told people when I didn't know what I was doing or couldn't afford something.<br />
Contributors worked for free, subscribers paid us forward and even sent us food parcels and furniture! Our repro house (for these were the days before digital and we needed photos scanned and film running out) gave us a whole edition free, amazingly generous.<br />
Then there was that very starry night at the magazine equivalent of the Oscars.<br />
We'd been given free tickets for the dinner by our distributors as I'd pleaded poverty. I hadn't had a hair cut in months and I was wearing a vintage dress out of frugality not fashion.<br />
I thought I was dreaming when I heard the man on the stage telling the story of how we'd saved our magazine and I realised lots of people were in tears including me!<br />
We won Small Publisher of the Year that night.<br />
The first year we'd even been publishers.<br />
Lord Rothermere heard the news and immediately sent over his chauffeur with Champagne.<br />
He really hadn't thought we could turn his magazine around, but we had somehow done it.<br />
We made it work with pure willpower.<br />
It made him incredibly happy.<br />
Many years later, sadly after Lord R had long since died, I would often meet people who worked in the massive Associated Newspapers empire who could remember him bringing our little magazine into very serious meetings and giving people a roasting about not being passionate enough or committed enough. He'd always tell our story.<br />
He'd forced so many people to read our magazine - stood over them until they did. Most notably the Home Secretary who had produced the god awful Dangerous Dogs Act....!<br />
We really do miss the wonderful Lord Rothermere.<br />
It was wonderful to know he was reading every issue and cheering us on in every campaign.<br />
He saw a spark in us, a way of getting pet people to stick together and change things.<br />
He gave us this chance.<br />
Please can you pass on what Dogs Today is all about and spread the word to a new generation of dog owners?<br />
It's hard to imagine it's already been 22 years since we started.<br />
That we're still battling vile BSL, Puppy farms etc etc.<br />
But there are some battles won, but there's still so much more to do to make the world a better place for dogs.<br />
Please spread the word.<br />
We need you!<br />
<br />
Here's that special offer again: <a href="http://www.dogstodaymagazine.co.uk/shop_fb.htm" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.dogstodaymagazine.co.uk/shop_fb.htm</a><br />
<br />
Just before you go, can I tell you about some lovely people who have kept every single edition we've produced
since we started out in 1991? We only found this out when a devastating
flood destroyed our office. Our precious bound copies of the
magazine were destroyed and we lost all our history in a matter of
minutes.<br />
But then fantastic readers started coming forward and offering to give
us their own complete sets of magazines to replace ours! It still makes
me cry... it was such a terrible time, but hearing that so many people had
treasured their magazines for all those years gave us all the strength
to keep going.<br />
Thank you for reading us - whether it's been for a month or two decades. We really appreciate it.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><span lang="EN-US">Hey I’m Shady! Will you throw my ball for me?<br />
I’ve been in Rescue for over a year now which my carers say they are
very surprised about. I love the company of people and get quite
stressed if left on my own for long periods of time.<br />
I’d love an owner with a lot of time on their hands; I’ll thank you with my devotion and wagging tail! <br />
My new year’s resolution is to find a loving new home where I can play
lots of games of fetch – could you help me make it come true?</span></b></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: x-small;"><i>I
am the busiest dog in the world! I like to train, and play games,
and love my obedience classes here in Leeds. I have lived with
children with severe learning difficulties in a very busy house, and
with another dog. I am much prettier than my photo, but I won’t keep
still long enough for anyone to take one – I’m too busy seeing if
the photographer has treats! I would love to live with an active
family who like to get out and about as much as I do. You can watch
videos of me training at the Iron Mountain website.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>I’ve
been at Battersea over a year – the Home never puts on a limit on
how long it takes to rehome a cat or dog – and I’m a real favourite
in the offices where I spend a day or two a week chilling out, being
good-natured and friendly, well-mannered and very affectionate. For
someone who looks like they ate all the pies, I’m actually a
delicate and discerning eater – I once said no to a Bonio! Like my
namesake Cleopatra, I am very beautiful, with carefully applied
eyeliner, and would like to be building my own little homely kingdom
soon.</b></span></div>

The fabulous new Dogs Today Online Directory went live yesterday!<br />
Do check it out!<br />
<a href="http://www.dogstodaymagazine.co.uk/directory.htm" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.dogstodaymagazine.co.uk/directory.htm</a><br />
I've had a quick look and at while there's already loads of exciting listings there are still a few gaps and of course we'd love to see the listing grow and grow as many more great people join in.<br />
We know our readers and they are usually the folk in their community that people ask for doggie advice - so put your details somewhere where they'll always know where to find them. <br />
We don't yet have any vet surgeries signed up to be listed in the directory - would be a great help for people when they get a dog or move house - we're always being asked to recommend good vets and it would be lovely if vets who feel they have a particular talent for looking after pet dogs exceptionally well took out a listing. If you're progressive and proud of what you're doing and want to attract pet lovers who probably also want to go that extra yard to keep their dogs in tip top health, please do put your hand up!<br />
If you're proud of the service you provide - get a listing.<br />
We'll even throw in a free sub for your vet's waiting room! <br />
Also - be great to know who is the doggie dentist to give your eye teeth for - the brightest neuro specialists, the stand out HD Xray guru, the eye specialist with the vision to tell you definitively whether your dog has an injury or a significant hereditary problem. <br />
Another gap - hydrotherapy pools and physio!<br />
Please show yourselves and take the plunge!<br />
Swimming can be great for dogs recovering from injury or battling a debilitating progressive problem like CDRM. Until you need one you probably just don't spot them.<br />
It can also be a really fun way of getting a really good work out generally, too - especially if the weather has been too hot for long walks or your dog can't often let off steam due to being scared off other dogs or unreliable around rabbits etc.<br />
Who is the top knot dog groomer in your area? The one who really knows what they are doing who can take a puppy through to old age and make going for a trim a really positive experience? Who can do the nerve racking nail trimming and- ugh - anal glands and turn their clients into friends? Is that you? Don't hide your talent.<br />
Again, we'll throw in a free sub for your waiting area if you take up a listing.<br />
I know I get asked these questions all the time from our readers... be great to have somewhere to point people towards 24/7 as not everyone gets to ask me direct! (Feels like it sometimes!)<br />
Dog walkers and dog sitters, this should be perfect for you, too!<br />
Not many people know there are folk that can handle an emergency situation... let people know you can turn someone's crisis into a calm and positive solution. (Eg going on holiday - you spot your dogs vaccines are out of date and the kennels will not take them... what do you do, apart from email me? Dog sitting agencies - this is perfect for you.)<br />
We don't seem to yet have any doggie artists or photographers listed -
have you commissioned someone to do something you loved? Why not give
them a nudge to get themselves listed?<br />
We know there's not much
margin in doggie art as this is a time-hungry business - but this is a
very economical way of telling people you're out there when they are
searching for that totally unique present for a loved one or a permanent
reminder of their dog of a lifetime. <br />
I'd also like to see people who do clever stuff like turn your
photos into embroidery, make your photos into cushions, your pet's hair
into diamonds, great doggie signs for your house... all those really
clever things that make a gift personal.<br />
Maybe your website does include a link to these things - why not highlight it in the listing so people can find you?<br />
How about services still just emerging? Are you a progressive dog trainer with loads of experience who would be happy to help someone select and train their next dog? I know lots of people who would adore this bespoke service. Someone to go through the choice of rescue or puppy, what type of dog, what sex and then get them completely up to speed on housetraining before the bundle of joy even arrives... there are people out there who really do want this service. I can tell you nearly everyone I went to infant school with has now contacted me to help them through the new dog minefield. <br />
Our online directory is a great place to be listed, an economic way to make sure your details area always to hand. And our readers are ever so helpful - they are likely to be the people <br />
If you
have a doggie service that you think could be included please talk to
Rachael Hames (full names, for we have two Rachaels in our office!), Fred or Mike on 01276 858880 during office hours or email
them on rachaelh@dogstodaymagazine.co.uk, mike@dogstodaymagazine.co.uk
or fred@dogstodaymagazine.co.uk <br />
Favourable charity rates too! Just saying.<br />
We want this listing to be accessible to everyone that will benefit.<br />
Do have a browse - some really interesting and talented folk already listing - thank you so much for your good taste and support!<br />
Well done to my lovely staff and designer Judith Broug, the famous
@MissyRedBoots for pulling all this together while I've been away on a
family holiday in Greece (I still am on holiday by the way! But my job never feels like work!)<br />
Check it out now!<br />
