Why Are These Puppies Being Spotted All Over Dublin Today?

With the holidays just around the corner, Dog Trust Ireland want to remind everyone that a dog isn’t just for Christmas.

You may have noticed these papier mâché puppies around the city today with #thepuppypromise printed across them, looking sad and neglected.

They serve as a powerful reminder that it’s within our power to stop the flood of unwanted puppies this Christmas.

Have a look at the puppies below.
