Why Is A Bronze Dog For Life, Not Just For Christmas?

The campaign based on the phrase “a dog is for life, not just for Christmas”, was launched all the way back in 1978 as a way of raising awareness of the problem of pets being given as Christmas presents, often to people unwilling or unable to keep them. But there are some cats or dogs you could undoubtedly give.

While the problem with real pets is that they often end up being maltreated or ending up as strays, there are lots of alternatives. For youngsters, a cuddly toy may be the best option, but for adults, how about a polished bronze cat or dog?

This might be a beautiful ornament that they would like, but it may also be the perfect gift for anyone who is unable to keep a pet at this time. Such situations include:

·       Old age, especially for dog lovers who cannot take them for walks

·       Allergies to pet hair

·       Living in a home where keeping a pet is impractical, like a small upstairs flat

·       Those whose pet has died and do not feel ready to take on another

Who Could You Get A Bronze Statue Of A Pet For?

Among those who might particularly appreciate a bronze of a pet might be someone who used to own one and is given a likeness based on pictures of their furry friend. It can act as a great tribute to a beloved cat or dog that has passed away.

Memorials can offer a great way for former owners to process the loss of a pet, so this may make a particularly cherished gift for someone whose cat or dog passed away within the last year.

A classy-looking cast can be a great conversation starter, which means the owner gets a chance to talk about what a wonderful pet they had whenever any visitor asks about it.

A dog may be for life and not just for Christmas, but a bronze of a pet that has passed on can keep their memory going long after their life is over.
