So are you an owner or a guardian? (and does it really matter?)

I've been sent this email from a campaign that wants us to refer to ourselves as "guardians" rather than "owners". Now I'm not entirely in agreement with this campaign but I thought I'd post this to see what other people's reactions were. I know that in the US the word guardian, as opposed to owner, has gained popularity, but this is the first big push for such a move in the UK. My attitude is that I don't actually care what people call themselves as long as they meet their dog's needs and give them a good life.

Spending time together and taking care of your dog will help to form a strong bond.

Rescue Me

Review Author: 
Julie Hill
Book Author: 
Dogs Trust and Alison Smith

Dogs Trust, the UK dog charity with the famous slogan, “A dog is for life not just for Christmas,” has brought out a book called Rescue Me – How to successfully rehome a rescue dog which is full of useful advice about adopting a dog from a shelter. It starts with a section on choosing a rescue dog and covers such issues as what your lifestyle is like, whether to adopt a puppy or adult, big or small, and even one or two dogs. There’s advice on what to expect at the centre, and useful checklists clarify the advice in the text.
