Editor’s letter
Avery happy new year to all our readers and their dogs. Let’s hope 2021 sees you all safe and well, and able to enjoy a return to some sort of normality.
The challenge of taking on a dog during lockdown is the subject of our lead feature this issue. It makes for a fascinating read, as we share the experiences of three new owners — including our own regular contributor and access adviser Stephen Jenkinson — as they’ve faced up to welcoming a new canine companion into their lives during the pandemic. There’s also a veterinary perspective from Your Dog vet Vicky Payne.
