To celebrate International Day of Happiness, we asked our team why they love their dogs. Find out what they had to say and join us in celebrating the happiness our dogs bring.

International Day Of Happiness

Jac & Alfie
"I pretty much always start and end my day with a nice stroll with Alfie. We go to the same park and do the same routine but he loves it too much! Starting my day like this really sets me up right and makes me even happier knowing Alfie can get some of his Border Collie energy out early on. It's quite sad to think I wouldn't have a reason to go on these walks if I didn't have Alfie"
Jac - Digital Marketing Executive

Jade & Ivy
"Ivy has bought so much joy into our lives, she is a little character and I am so grateful for her. Ivy loves a ball and her favourite thing to do is play fetch on the beach. We try to ensure she gets a good ball throw on the weekend at her favourite places, she gets to burn off lots of energy, she is very content after and gives me cuddles and kisses on the way home to say thank you"
Jade - National Account Manager Retail Online

Juliet & Einstein
"Einstein always reminds me to live in the moment. Life is too short and always do things you love, which in his case is rolling in anything stinky and having the proudest look on his face when he shows me. Love my dog, he fills me with joy"
Juliet - Commercial Financial Controller

Sarah & Colin
"The past nine years mean we have been through a lot of experiences together - he is part of the family and I struggle to remember what life was like before Colin! It's easy to say that our well-being is better as we go out and walk, helps with our circadian rhythm being out in the daylight and all those things that are expected in dog ownership. But Colin enriches our lives so so much more than that"
Sarah - Head Of Digital And Customer Experience

Stuart & Sam
"Our dog Sam is a daily reminder that the best way to understand other individuals or creatures who may seem so different to you is to try and see the world from their perspective. Which is why Sam is only too happy to stick his head through the cat flap or even curl up with the cats on the sofa from time to time"
