Your Dog | December 2024
My favourite time of the year is fast approaching! I love Christmas. It may sound cheesy, but I really enjoy how it brings people together – and not just on the day itself. The whole season sees work Christmas parties, family gatherings, social group get-togethers, and families and friends around the dinner table. That, of course, includes our dogs.
You’ll see my joy surrounding the season reflected in this month’s choice of lead feature. I wanted a real feel-good story. It is sad in places – the festive period isn’t always easy – but it is hoped that the magic of the season can lead us all down a better path. I know you’ll enjoy Maggie’s story and want to thank (in print!) Andrea McHugh for finding such a heartwarming tale for our Christmas issue.
In this month, we’ve also got Christmas shopping inspiration and lots of festive fun in the junior section. I’d recommend adults have a flick through the pages meant for younger readers, too, as there is a festive recipe and a line-up of canine Christmas films.
As always, we’ve got a packed issue with lots to enjoy,
even if you’re not feeling that Christmassy yet. One of my favourite features this month is ‘Candid Canines’ on page 26. Chris Porsz’s street photography of dogs from across the globe is brilliant.
All that is left is for me to wish you a very Merry Christmas!
I hope you, your families, and canine companions have a lovely time together, no matter how you decide to spend it.
