Dogs Trust takes patriotic pawtraits to mark Jubilee
Dogs from the charity's rehoming centres posed with bunting and decorations to mark the occasion.
Charity celebrates its Patron's anniversary with pooch party.

Dogs Trust has been celebrating the Queen's Jubilee in style – by throwing a 'paw-ty' for its rescue dogs.

With bunting, cuddles and plenty of royal pawtraits taken of the dogs, the Dogs Trust rehoming centres have been celebrating the Jubilee, and hoping that the dogs' new snaps will attract loving new owners.

The pups enjoyed the fresh air and fun decorations, and patriotic pooches like Taz, Captain Oats, Edith and Winter struck their best poses for the camera, loving the extra attention. 

Popular charity Dogs Trust has plenty to celebrate over the Jubilee weekend, as the Queen is its Patron, and has been since 1990. 

Well known for her love of dogs, the charity hopes that more people will follow in Queen Elizabeth's footsteps and become dog lovers – giving dogs at the rehoming centres a new chance at life.

Pictures of the patriotic pups can be seen on the Dogs Trust website, along with more information on how to adopt them.

BBC Radio 4 documentary addresses corporate fees

BBC Radio 4's File on 4 Investigates has released a documentary exploring how corporate-owned veterinary practices may be inflating bills to increase profit.

Released on 15 April, 'What's Happening To Your Vet Bills?' revealed the policies which many corporate groups have in place to increase their profits. This included targets and upgrades which veterinary teams are tasked with meeting on a regular basis.

It also features Anrich Vets, an independently-owned practice based in Wigan. Following the case of Staffordshire terrier Benjy, who is diagnosed with a tumour, the documentary shares how the team were able to offer contextualised care and advice to make the procedure as affordable as possible for his owners.

The documentary can be heard on demand on BBC iPlayer.
