**NATIONAL DOG DAY**

Today is National Dog Day, an annual event celebrating man’s best friend. The aim of the day is to honour the deep bond between dogs and their human companions while also raising awareness about rescue dogs and advocating for responsible dog ownership.

Today is an ideal opportunity to showcase our dog of the Month for August – MILLY – as she had a lovely day out with our volunteers Sharon and John and hound WOOFY last week visiting Sale Water Park.

They tell us ‘Millie was so well behaved only having a couple of barks at some dogs who came too close. She enjoyed visiting somewhere different but nearly pulled me in the water on the stepping stones! It was a lovely day out, Milly and Woofy enjoyed the treats we took for them too.’

If you’d like to know more about MILLY you can find her details on our website www.makants.uk
