We all know the slogan, “A dog is for life, not just for Christmas”, coined by the Dogs Trust charity more than four decades ago. Owning a dog is not just a wonderful experience and a privilege, but a responsibility.
Sharing your life with a dog will give you fond memories, special moments playing together with the best puppy toys, and mutual affection – but also years of commitment and duty to do your best for that dog at all times, and not just when it suits you. “For richer for poorer, in sickness and in health” could easily apply to the canine ownership as to marriage.
