British Waterways, one of the last old government run national organisations is finally going to be turned into a Trust, called 'The Canal and River Trust' next April. As part of the launch they are looking for a dog to front a marketing campaign, because one of the main uses of canals is to walk a dog.

by December 31st. Runners up get doggy goodies, the winner becomes the doggie face of the new trust. The blurb says that it helps if the dog can swim, chase sticks and gets on with other dogs and swans.
Come on, lets have our own local version of a' cos I'm worth it' model. So what if we can only aspire to 4 legs not 2. So what if our version sometimes smells of fox. Dog walkers and their dogs are something we have a lot of, and surely we can come up with a winning canal dog.
