DOGS TRUST: Every year, thousands of puppies are illegally imported into Great Britain, destined to be sold online to unsuspecting dog lovers who believe they are getting a happy, healthy pup who has been bred in the UK.
‘A Christmas Tale’ shows the journey of a puppy who has been bought online, but all is not as it seems. The tiny pup has actually been illegally imported into the country, his mum left behind to continue the breeding cycle.
Many of these puppies suffer serious health conditions or lifelong behavioural challenges, and some puppies don’t survive, leaving their new families helpless and heartbroken – and out of pocket
We want to change the tale and stop people suffering the heartache of buying an underaged, unvaccinated smuggled pup.
