110 years ago today, on 1 July 1916, the Battle of the Somme began.

In a single day, the British Army suffered over 57,000 casualties, more than 19,000 of them killed.

A generation of young men walked into hell on earth.

Lest we forget.

Please retweet to help Buddy find a home #UK - currently in #YORKSHIRE - may be able to rehome nationally 🐶✅
D.O.B: 01.11.2023. At just 2 years old, Buddy is a fun-loving, affectionate boy with a huge personality and an even bigger heart. He absolutely adores people and is happiest when he’s by your side, soaking up cuddles, attention, and plenty of fuss.
Buddy is a social lad who loves being involved in whatever his humans are doing. Whether it’s heading out for an adventure or curling up for some affection afterwards, he simply enjoys spending time with his people.
Like many young dogs, Buddy can be a little enthusiastic when he first sets off on a walk and is a strong boy on the lead. Once he’s had a chance to burn off some excitement, he settles nicely and enjoys exploring the world around him, taking in all the sights, sounds, and smells.
Buddy already knows his basic commands and is very food motivated, making him a fantastic candidate for ongoing training. He loves learning and will thrive with a family who can continue building his confidence, skills, and manners through positive reinforcement and consistency.
He would be best suited to live with a friendly female but he would also be perfectly content as the only dog in the home where he can enjoy all the love and attention for himself.
Buddy would be best suited to a home with older children.
Buddy is a wonderful young dog with so much potential. All he needs now is a family willing to invest a little time and patience into his training and, in return, they will gain a loyal, loving companion who will reward them with endless affection and plenty of laughs along the way. 🧡
Could you be the person Buddy has been waiting for? 🐾
