Stats taken from the Mirror this morning:
"Dog abandonment in the UK is at an 11-year high as hard-up families struggle to feed themselves, let alone pets.
More than 126,000 dumped dogs were picked up by local authorities in the past 12 months – that is 345 every day. And a shocking 20 a day are being destroyed."
