Owning a ... dog

The dog has long been known as "man's best friend" and makes a very good pet. A dog requires a lot of attention - daily walks, feeding, grooming, training, playing... and tummy-tickling! Taking on a dog is a big responsibility and a lot of fun!

Mypet dog ... Muffin

We adopted Muffin from the NCDL (now Dogs Trust) Centre in Shoreham in 1995. He was actually born on my eleventh birthday. He's a labrador-cross x unknown, and affectionately termed a Heinz 57. He adores living near the beach and paddles nearly every day. He also has a substantial collection of squeaky toys and enjoys chasing squirrels, despite his complete lack of success.
