ACTIVIST Joseph Darville and some of his dogs.
ACTIVIST Joseph Darville has long shown his love for our environment - and now he has joined in our Love Ya Dog campaign call to look after our animals.
Mr Darville said: “We have always had dogs in our lives - anywhere from one or two, to six at one time over the years - of various breeds, and our beloved Bahamian Potcakes... they are treated as part of our family - and taken care of and given attention as any family member would be. They are well socialised and taught mannerly behaviour so we can enjoy more time with them, and they can be included in as many fun family activities and public interactions as are safe for them. They especially enjoy spending a whole day lounging and playing on the beach with us.”
He added: “The real joy of dog ownership - the loyalty, love, comfort, and affection one will experience owning a dog or multiple dogs can only come with spending quality time with them every day... getting to know and enjoy their individual personalities, their intelligence, and forming that special bond of affection one can only get from loving and caring for a pet.
“I am privileged to serve as president of the Grand Bahama Humane Society where so many abandoned and rescued animals are continuously being cared for by the hardworking and caring staff at the shelter. These dogs, and cats, are waiting to bring so much joy to persons who will give them a safe and loving home, and make them a fully integrated part of their family.”
The Love Ya Dog campaign encourages dog owners to take care of their pets - and we are calling on readers to join in.
We want to encourage those who do treat their pets well to show them off - and by doing so letting others see a better way to treat their pets.
CARE TIP: Animals do not yearn to be parents, or get “married”, spay and neuter your pet to avoid all the unwanted animals that are wandering the island looking for food. It is the correct community minded thing to do.
• Send us a picture of you with your dogs to loveyadog@tribunemedia.net to join the campaign and show that you Love Ya Dog.
