"You Lucky Dog"

I've just got off the phone from Joyce Geier, talking about Border Collies in connection with an upcoming film "You Lucky Dog" which will be on the Hallmark Channel in June.

Save your pennies in a doggy bank

Don’t give the dog a bone, give him a coin!

Forget your usual piggy bank and get yourself a Doggy Bank!  Fully jointed, this adorable hound will excitedly gobble and chomp his way through coins deposited in his food bowl until they magically disappear.  In reality, they’ve dropped into his money box base.  It’s a great, fun way to save for that rainy day.

Its mission is to bring about the day when all dogs can enjoy a happy life, free from the threat of unnecessary destruction.
