“Bark woof ruff…WOOF!” – Titan – 5 ½, Yorkshire Terrier, Yorkshire
Don’t speak doglish? We’ll translate – “I want to go to Devon”.
Dogs all over the country are being swept by a strange country fever…
They can’t stop pining after dog friendly holidays in Devon. A lady in central Birmingham was shocked, after arriving home from work, to find her chihuahua standing on her laptop, trying to book a Devon break.
“I couldn’t believe my eyes. Coco was on my computer. He’d managed to punch the words deevonnb brekjj into the search. Google had autocorrected it to Devon break, and there he was, surfing the offers. I checked the history and he’d mashed the keypad with his paws hundreds of times, with all sorts of random combinations. Once my surprise disappeared, I thought, he’s got taste”.

They are living beings, deserving of a good life.
Thinking of this, we’ve put together some ideas to help any dedicated dog owner make their pup’s tail wag. Because, like us, they need some TLC and variety too.
