Murphy, the Springer joins us to keep us upto date on the Microchipping Campaign


Hello Scout,
I’m Murphy- a 9 month old springer spaniel. I live with a family of 4 and the youngest girl (Lauren) is my favourite as she feeds me every night, lets me clamber all over her bed, cuddles and kisses me and feeds me lots of treats! She also plays a game with me where she hides treats in the garden- and I go and try to find them! That’s my favourite game of all.

She’s involved in an animal action group called S.O.F.A (it stands for Speak Out For Animals) at her school and the members of the group are running a petition to make microchipping of all dogs compulsory. They are basically trying to make it law for all dogs to be micro chipped- and I totally agree with them, as I would hate it if I went missing and was rehomed with a different family. How would someone else know what my favourite game is?! I think their campaign would help a lot of dogs like me to stay safe and reunited with their family if we got separated.

I would love to keep you updated with the progress of the S.O.F.A club- I’m sure plenty will be going on in the next few months!

They now have 7360 signatures on their
petition- but if you would like to sign it, it can be accessed on the internet- https://webmailcluster.1and1.co.uk/xml/deref?link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gopetition.com%2Fonline%2F19925.html and several girls will be handing round the petition at Crufts on Saturday 7th- so it will also be able to be signed then as well. About 20 girls will be at Crufts on that day- and they will be accompanied by the SOFA leader- Sue Cole.

If you would like to talk to any of the girls on that day, they will be at the Dog Theft Action's stand, 4, 6, & 8 in hall 2 to discuss all issues relating to dog theft, microchipping and scanning in the UK.
See you soon
Murphy
