Emmet the staffy cross, one of our elderly Pawz dogs, was invited by B&M stores to attend the opening of their new store at Pallion retail park in Sunderland. He was there at the front when the Mayor cut the tape and officially opened the store this morning.

He was delighted to receive a donation of £250 in vouchers, on behalf of Pawz for Thought from the store and happy to get a very nice squeaky bear toy to play with.

A big thank you to everyone at B&M stores from all the animals and from our hard working volunteers.
