How to be a good puppy - aka 'Write a Post, Help a Dog!'

JD - Hi everyone! As you all know we are VERY good puppies!

Max - Well of course we are - it almost goes without saying bro'!

JD - Er, yes Max. But nevertheless I thought that it would be fun to do a quick 'how to be a good puppy' post to help demonstrate just HOW good we are!

Max - Great idea JD! Can I kick it off? Right, here goes - good puppies NEVER scavenge, so of course we would NEVER be caught doing anything like that.....

NOT scavenging by the sea-front!

JD - Most definately not! Also, to be a good puppy one must NEVER be a sofa hog! We ALWAYS remember to leave enough room on the sofa for our humans.

NOT being sofa hogs!

Max - That's right JD! It should also be mentioned that good puppies like us would never DREAM of chewing on items that don't belong to us, such as - oooh, I don't know - socks for example.....

NOT sampling a sock!

JD - Well said Max! And finally....

Max - ....probably the MOST important way that you can be a good puppy.....

JD - ....is to help puppies who are in need! And that's what we're doing right now by joining in with Pedigree's wonderful 'write a post, help a dog' project!

Max - So, how can YOU help puppies in need too? Just do what we're doing and write a post between September 16th and September 19th and Pedigree will donate a 20-pound bag of food to an animal shelter. Just include the bullets listed here, and add the direct link to your blog post to the Blog Hop in the post below.

• Each year, more than 4 million dogs end up in shelters and breed rescue organizations. Pedigree created The PEDIGREE Adoption Drive to help shine a spotlight on the plight of these homeless dogs.

• This year the PEDIGREE Adoption Drive is raising awareness for homeless dogs by donating a bowl of food to shelter dogs for everyone who becomes a "Fan" or "Likes" the PEDIGREE Adoption Drive on Facebook. So far more than 1 million bowls have been donated.

• Special for BlogPaws West: For each blog that posts about the PEDIGREE Adoption Drive through September 19, PEDIGREE will donate a bag of its new Healthy Longevity Food for Dogs to shelters nationwide. It's simple: Write a post, help a dog
