  1. “We were walking the dogs and across the road someone realised she had no poo bags and shouted across to ask if we had any. We gave her one of ours.”

    The poo bag panic is real among dog owners so we know a lot of you can relate to this!

    What kindness have you noticed while out dog walking?

  4. Businesses providing water for dogs is a great example of simple act of kindness that makes a big difference to dog owners.

    This creative watering hole was spotted at a pub by a non dog owner and sent in to us because they recognised the kindness of it.

    We’re always looking for more examples of kindness to share, so send in yours!

  5. What kindness did you see over the weekend?

    “Whilst out walking the dog I mentioned to another dog walker that we’d lost our ball. He offered us a spare ball which was a really kind thing to do.”

    Thanks to Karen Beasley for sending us this great example of everyday kindness.

  6. “I was walking my son’s fox red Labrador, Millie, in Saltram and I lost her. One minute she was there, the next she was gone.

    I was so so worried. I asked lots of people if they had seen her and so many people were just so kind and wanted to help.

    One gentleman offered his mobile internet to enable me to locate Millie on her tracker, and one extremely kind lady found her and realised that she was the lost dog everyone was talking about.
