They leave hair on your jumper, use your garden as a loo and have a nasty habit of rolling around in stinky stuff. We don’t mind because we love our dogs. In fact, we’d be lost if we lost them.
But every dog has the potential to stray or be stolen.
Having up-to-date contact details on your dog’s tag is often the quickest way for you to be reunited with your best friend should the worst happen.
In 1992 it was made a legal requirement that any dog in a public place must wear a collar with the name and address (including postcode) of the owner engraved or written on it, or engraved on a tag. And although there is no legal requirement for a dog to have a collar and tag on private property, over the past three years approximately 2,800 dogs have gone missing from homes and gardens.
