Summer’s here (yes, really!) and our thoughts go to days out with your doggie companions in the countryside, at the seaside or in the local park. Maybe you’re planning to take your dog on a family holiday?

We’ve all watched our dogs enjoying a good sniff when out on their walks – be it with nose pressed to the ground or raised in the air to detect and enjoy scents wafting around them.

In this bumper issue of the newsletter you will be able to:

• Find out about the origins of the famous Dog’s Trust Christmas slogan
• Check out Jay’s wish list to Santa Paws for some great ideas on festive gifts
• Pick up some useful seasonal tips
• Have fun solving our quiz question
• Get to enjoy our 2018 One2One Wye Walkies Hall of Fame!

You will notice that this issue has a distinctly nautical theme! We are extremely lucky in the UK to have access to some exceptional coastal areas, ideal for exploring & having fun with our canine friends. 

We hope you enjoy reading the fascinating history of heroic Airedales during the First World War, find the seasonal tips helpful & enjoy Googling the answer to the quiz question!
