Grieving dogs re-homed by RSCPA - Cheap pet insurance

Posted : 30-06-2008

A pair of elderly dogs whose owner died have managed to find a new home, thanks to the RSPCA.

Benson and Bonny, who are both nine-year-old Staffordshire bull terriers could have been left without a home when their owner died.

However, the animal lover inserted a clause into her will which asked for the pets to be passed over to the RSCPA, which was able to re-home them through its Home for Life scheme.

The dogs were sent to live with Irene Dyke, from Taunton, who was pleased to receive the dogs.

Mrs Dyke told the charity: "Benson and Bonny are enjoying their new home, and I am really spoiling them!"

Sally Neale, manager of the RSPCA West Hatch Animal Centre, commented: "Benson and Bonny are a lovely pair, who deserve to live out their days in a loving home."

The RSPCA's Home for Life scheme ensures pets are taken in by the charity if their owners dies, preventing them from facing an uncertain future with unwilling or unable friends and family of the deceased.

Earlier this year, research from Sainsbury's highlighted the importance of covering elderly dogs with pet insurance, as the costs of owning them can often rise due to medical bills.
