Every dog deserves a happy place

Thank you for giving dogs a happy place this Christmas.

If dogs could speak, what would they say? They’d say, “thank you for my happy place.”

They’d thank you for giving up space on the bed so they can spread out. For trekking to the shops in the rain when they’re out of treats. And for embracing a handful of slobber every time you throw their ball – even if they don’t always bring it back.

But most of all, they’d thank you for being you and loving them for them – together in your very own happy place. 

So, what is a happy place?

For dogs, a happy place is whatever and whoever makes them feel safe or joyful. Whatever feels like home.

It might be curling up on the sofa, or sitting in the backseat with the window cracked. Their favourite spot to sniff, or simply the jingle of keys in the door.
