Dogs Trust oldest dog returns to centre for third time – desperate for final family
He's an old man with a huge heart and a lot of love to give - but nobody has stuck by his side. Kengo, the 15-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier cross, is the oldest rescue dog across all Dogs Trust rehoming centres in the UK. He was originally found as a stray in 2018 and taken to the Leeds centre, where he was happily rehomed with a family. But in 2021, his owner sadly passed away and he found himself in the care of the rehoming team again. Kengo was then adopted once more, only to come back for a third time in April, after his owner could no longer care for him. Now, lovable Kengo has his paws crossed that he'll find a final home to spend his twilight years.

Vet urges owners to check their dog’s poo and shares what it should look like
We would all love it if our pets could talk and tell us if they're not feeling well - but unfortunately this isn't the case. Surprisingly, the best way to find out more about your pooch's wellbeing is through their poo. New research by Butternut Box reveals that 53 per cent of owners report their dog having a sensitive stomach, meaning digestibility has never been more important. Luckily, one of the nation's favourite on-screen vets, Dr Bolu Eso, is on hand to help educate the nation. Dr Bolu says: "A dog's poo can be surprisingly insightful into the overall health of our four-legged friends, so however off-putting it may be, it's important to monitor and observe their poo. "By making sure they're able to fully digest their food, your pet pooch will be able to benefit from all of the key nutrients that will help them to live a long and happy life."
