Sleepeezee have recently released personalised dog beds, and to celebrate International Dog Day on the 26th August and dogs all year round, they’d like to hear about the ways your dogs have helped you.
Here’s what Sleepeezee has to say: “British bed manufacturer Sleepeezee is proud to launch a collection of dog beds, in partnership with Battersea Dogs Home, which offer your companion a great sleep. Two distinct styles are available in a selection of sizes and colours, all of which can be personalised with your dogs name on.”
Perhaps the need to get out and walk your dog each day has helped you feel fitter and stronger? Have you learned any important lessons from your dog? Maybe being greeted by your dog’s smiling face and wagging tail at the end of a tough day helps you deal with stress?
However your dog has helped you, share on the thread below and you’ll be entered into a prize draw where one GNer will win a £300 voucher for the store of their choice (from a list) and a Sleepeezee dog bed.
Thanks and good luck!

My adorable Labrador was my life line when I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. When going through chemotherapy he would come and lie on the bed next to me when the days after treatment were incredibly tough to get through. He would put his head on my lap when I cried, he was the only one to see me cry, he never spilled the beans when the day was rough and I divulged my deep thoughts to him. He still loved me deeply when I lost my hair and I looked as rough as anything. I don’t know how I would of got through it all with out him..I truly love him to bits. ??
Our dog is the only reason we lease the house most days 
With my depression at an all time low Honi makes me walk in the fresh air and socialize when all I want to do is shut myself away.
She also brings me unconditional love and companionship, I'm lucky I have lots of people around me but she is the best at lifting me when down.
We don't have a dog now - we're away from home too much and wouldn't be able to look after one properly. But the five dogs I grew up with over the years were my trusty and faithful companions and I have wonderful memories of them. Apparently the golden labrador who was part of the family when I was born would guard my pram when I was out in the yard, and refuse to let anyone in. I doubt it went down too well with the family who shared the yard, mind, especially as their toilet was out there.
After the heartbreak of losing our elderly dog to cancer, life just wasn't the same. The house wasn't home any more. We found Harvey, a beautiful chocolate labrador at the local animal shelter. He had been there six months and no interest had been shown because he was an elderly boy aged around 11. We were looking for an older boy and Harvey fitted the bill. We rescued him, but he also rescued us
