largest dog welfare charity, k today issuing a warning against buying dogs as Christ mas presents to keep up with the latest fad. A new survey*, released today by the
P
charity and NOP reveals that an astonish ing 11% of the population would consider buying a dog as a present for someone. In
ARIS, Britney and the Rooneys may think a dog is the latest fashion accessory, but Dogs Trust, the UK's
the 15-24 age group, those most affected by fashion trends, the figure rises to 22%. Dogs Trust Chief Executive and creator
of the world famous slogan "A Dog is for Life, Not Just for Christmas TM", Clarissa Baldwin, comments: "Giving someone a new puppy for Christ
mas along with a pair of cowboy boots or a faux fur stole is not something you should do lightly.
C H E N M Ai "Sadly, every year charities such as Dogs
Trust have to pick up the pieces when peo ple don't think through the commitihent of sharing their life with a dog. Even before the New Year, our rehoming centres will already start to count the cost of impulse buying as dogs, old and young, are dumped on their doorsteps.

make sure your commitment to your dog does not." If you are thinking about getting a puppy this Christmas, please consider the

13 years. 9 Dogs aren't cheap to care
for. You should expect to spend around £8,000 over his lifetime. • Puppies can be extremely
hard work for an owner, particu larly if there are young children in the house - do you have enough time to spend with your
pup? • Dogs don't come fully
trained. They can cause a lot of damage to your possessions through chewing and accidents. How committed are you to training your dog? O Christmas is always a very
hectic tune of year with relatives and friends arriving. This isn't the best time to introduce your new dog to the house. 9 Last year the local authon-
ties collected more than 105,000 stray and abandoned dogs across the UK in 12 months and destroyed one dog every hour because their owners could not be traced or no homes found for them. 9 Dogs Trust's network of 15
rehoming centres work round the clock to find homes for res cue dogs. However, each year they will see an increase in dogs being abandoned following the Christmas period.
CASESTUDY Twelve-week-old crossbreed,
Turkey was abandoned in a cardboard box outside Dogs Trust Newbury on Boxing Day last year. Staff a t the centre believe he was bought as a | Christmas present for someone in the local area who then got bored of him as the novelty wore off.
Dogs Trust Newbury manag
er Maureen Iggleden comments: "Christmas and Spring can
often be extra busy in the rehoming centres. Sometimes owners will tire of their dogs even before the Christmas holi days are over but often it is not until late Spnng, when the pup pies start to get bigger and their cute puppy ways are seen as boisterous and an inconve nience." In an effort to prevent even
more impulse purchases during the festive season, all 15 Dogs Trust rehoming centres tem porarily stop rehoming dogs from December 19th to January
2nd. ■ If you would like to suppprt

Continued from page 28 But what Travis’s Fran Healy
describes as the ‘old guard’ was ailso out in force. The Band Aid 20 band was made up of Paul McCartney on bass. Radiohead’s Thom Yorke on piano and Supergrass’s Danny Goffey on drums. The ‘new guard’ contributed as
well, however, with The Darkness’s Justin and Dan Hawkins playing what they describe as “some very 80s twin-harmony guitars”. Parts of the song, such as Dizzee
Rascal’s rap, were recorded on Sat urday, and Dido and Robbie Williams had to record their parts
in Australia and Los Angeles respectively. But most of it was laid down on Sunday when the rest of Band Aid 20 gathered at Air Stu dios, where they were kept refreshed by a tea boy going by the name of Damon Albam. I t seems the reported row
between Bono and Justin Hawkins for the line ‘Well tonight thank God it’s them instead of you’ wasn’t the only jostling of egos. “There were a few idiots there,
man, complete idiots,” says Matt, in between fits of laughter. “There were a few egos all trying to outsmg each other.”
The idea for Band Aid 20 began
when The Sun tracked down Birhan Woldu, the three-year-old girl who was said to be just 15 min utes from death when she featured in the 1984 Live Aid footage high lighting the famine in Ethiopia. Now a healthy 23-year-old student, she inspired the paper’s associate editor, Dominic Mohan, to go to Bob Geldof with the idea for a new version of “Do They Know I t ’s Christmas?” to help more children like Birhan. The focus of this year’s Band Aid
is the conflict in Sudan’s Darfur region.
