Some of my favourite weeks in my job as an MP revolve around dogs! I was delighted to take part in the Mayor's Charity Dog Walk in Southend, before pledging my support in Westminster to the Blue Cross who are promoting responsible dog ownership.
The Blue Cross is one of the UK’s leading pet charities and celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2022. Its purpose is to help pets and people thrive together. To achieve this, they help pets and people in need, improve knowledge and understanding of good pet welfare and work to make pets a more valued part of society.
Responsible dog ownership is not just vital for dogs, but for society as a whole. A happy, well-trained and well-looked after dog is a joy to be around and we want to encourage dog-owners to learn more about what their dog needs to enable it to be received warmly wherever it goes.
