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.

What’s more, Hawkin have taken the dog theme to heart and they’re trying to raise as much money as they can for Dogs Trust.  Founded in 1891, Dogs Trust is the largest dog welfare charity in the UK. Its mission is to bring about the day when all dogs can enjoy a happy life, free from the threat of unnecessary destruction. 

To help support this worthy cause, visit any Hawkin’s Bazaar shop from 11 June and feed the resident Doggy with your coins.  All money collected from these Doggy Banks will go directly to Dogs Trust. (www.dogstrust.co.uk).

Doggy Banks will be available from the website at www.hawkin.com, or from one of the Hawkin’s Bazaar shops.
