After Christmas, I was watching the UTV news when this report came up. It revealed heartbreaking examples of puppy litters who had been abandoned, literally days after Christmas was over.

This made me feel so upset but also helped me feel like my project could make a difference. Even if not to rehome every dog but also to educate people on the responsibility of owning a dog.
