WE’RE LOOKING FOR THE REAL LIFE SCOOBY-DOO!
Widely regarded as one of the most loved canine cartoon characters, Scooby-Doo and
his unique nose for adventure have held a special place in the heart of the nation for forty years!
And to celebrate, the country’s 6.8 million dogs are all in for a sniff of canine fame as we’re
launching a nationwide search to find the living, three-dimensional equivalent of Scooby Doo!
Dogs up for the challenge will be put through their muddy paces and judged on the following criteria:
- a nose for mischief
- large floppy ears
- a spring in their step
- brown coat with large black spots
- a loveable personality
- and of course, an endless appetite!
The winning pup will get the coveted title of being crowned ‘The Living Scooby-Doo’,
with his owner winning an exclusive stage debut on the Scooby-Doo Live Show,
which is touring the country over this summer.
So take a picture of your dog and enter! All you need to do is send a photo of your dog along
with your name, age, address and telephone number to:
Email: Scooby@cowpr.com
or Address: Martin Ayres, Cow PR, 15 Bermondsey Square, London SE1 3UN
Closing date for entries: 31st May so hurry and send us your dog photos!
AND… the latest news from Scooby-Doo and his pals,
the Mystery gang, is that Scooby
is escaping on to DVD on the 25th May in his latest adventure:
Scooby-Doo! And the Samurai Sword.
Packed with even more hi-jinks, thrills and laughs,
Scooby-Doo and the Mystery gang
embark on a
transcontinental treasure hunt, circling Asia and the Pacific
to solve a series of ancient riddles.
Available in all good retailers.

Review questions welfare report
A DAMNING review into the RSPCA commissioned report Pedigree dog breeding in the UK:
a major welfare concern? has been circulated to various governing bodies this week.
The review, carried out by Dr John Hubble, himself a Rottweiler owner and breeder, gives a detailed response to the initial report, carried out following the showing last August of Jemima harrison’s Pedigree Dogs Exposed. In it, Dr Hubble argues that claims the report was independent and scientific are misleading, and that the conclusions appear to be ‘significantly influenced by the views of the sponsor and the authors’ preconceptions’, an opinion perhaps shared by many others at the time of the report.
Dr Hubble told OUR DOGS: ‘The title of this report was framed in the form of a question: “Pedigree dog breeding in the UK: a major welfare concern?” The authors claim that this represents a report that is both scientific and independent. As an experienced scientist/ engineer with over 25 year’s research experience I would suggest that the style and content of the report provide significant grounds to question both assertions.
