International Dog Day

No one can win hearts like a dog and in honour of this bond between humans and canines, Dog Day is celebrated.

Take time to appreciate the love and value that dogs bring to our daily lives. From keeping us safe working for the emergency services to supporting people who are blind, deaf, or disabled, dogs do a lot for us humans, and this is an opportunity to give something back.

Here at Heritage, we are HUGE dog lovers. If you have a dog, why not treat them to something really special with these dog-friendly recipes and don’t forget to share your dog pictures on our Facebook post in the comments.
