Why Dogs?
Human's Best Friend Needs Us
The dog is a domesticated descendant of the wolf. Dogs were domesticated over 15,000 years ago. The dog has been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes. They perform many roles for humans and due to their influence on human society, they have earned the title of "man's best friend."
Whilst many dogs live happy lives, full of the love and care they deserve, some are not so lucky and they experience neglect and abuse at the hands of humans. I have put together this site to bring attention to this, and provide links to charities or other organisations that help protect and rescue dogs from often terrible situations. Please explore to find out how you can make a difference.
