Dogs end up in rescue centres for a whole host of reasons - and most of the time, it's through no fault of their own. Wanting to help rescue dogs secure new homes, a class of primary school children wrote letters to the dogs' future owners, explaining what they could bring to their lives.
Pupils at St Michael's Episcopal School, in Richmond, America, managed to rehome an "incredible" number of dogs at Richmond Animal Care and Control (RACC) thanks to their adorable letters. A spokesperson from the rescue centre said: "Shout out to Mrs Jones at St Michael's Episcopal School who created and implemented an amazing writing assignment to help our RACC shelter pets find forever homes.
