Dogs Given As Christmas Presents
Andrew Rosindell
2004-12-15
That this House notes that the Dogs Trust's famous slogan, A Dog is For Life, Not Just for Christmas, was created in 1978 by the charity's Chief Executive, Clarrisa Baldwin, at a time when thousands of people were buying puppies to give to family and friends as Christmas presents, resulting in puppies being abandoned in the New Year; recognises that despite many years of campaigning by the Dogs Trust there still exists a problem of dogs being given as Christmas presents; further recognises that the Dogs Trust has seen that the most popular time of year for pups to be abandoned is at the start of the Easter holidays, when pups who were given for Christmas presents have grown up to be big boisterous dogs; further notes the problem of dogs being given as Christmas presents is still a major concern, in a country where there were at least 117,000 stray and abandoned dogs taken in by local authorities last year; and wholeheartedly supports the Dogs Trust in their determination to ensure that one day all dogs are cared for be responsible owners, and have a home for life.
