"You Lucky Dog"

I've just got off the phone from Joyce Geier, talking about Border Collies in connection with an upcoming film "You Lucky Dog" which will be on the Hallmark Channel in June. I find the working life of Border Collies fascinating - and Joyce knows her stuff! I was also amazed to learn that there are over twenty breeds of herding dogs currently at work in America. The interview will be in the next episode of DogCast Radio, which will be available on June 12th.

 

Here's the press release to tell you more about the film:

Save your pennies in a doggy bank

Don’t give the dog a bone, give him a coin!

Forget your usual piggy bank and get yourself a Doggy Bank!  Fully jointed, this adorable hound will excitedly gobble and chomp his way through coins deposited in his food bowl until they magically disappear.  In reality, they’ve dropped into his money box base.  It’s a great, fun way to save for that rainy day.

What’s more, Hawkin have taken the dog theme to heart and they’re trying to raise as much money as they can for Dogs Trust.  Founded in 1891, Dogs Trust is the largest dog welfare charity in the UK. Its mission is to bring about the day when all dogs can enjoy a happy life, free from the threat of unnecessary destruction.
