Dog gone, I need some help
I'm a journalist writing a piece about the growth in the dog industry. I'd like to speak with dog owners who use doggy daycares, dog groomers and dog walkers; folks who buy special food for their dogs, go on pooch-friendly holidays and visit fur-friendly hotels. Ideally, I'd like to tag along with your dog for the day to show what they do and what services they use. The story will be peppered with facts and figures about the industry serving our canines.
If you can help, please call Bess Manson on 027 807 0579 or email bess.manson@stuff.co.nz I look forward to hearing from you
