12 pictures of dogs in Christmas jumpers that will brighten your day

Or 12 reasons why every dog should own a Christmas jumper
1/12

We're one week out from one of the greatest days on the British calendar: Christmas Jumper Day.

This splendid day, in support of Save The Children, is when adults and kids alike are encouraged to put on their most festive jumper and wear it in the outside world - and donate £2 to charity along the way.

So as an early celebration Save the Children has released its ’12 Dogs of Christmas’ shoot, shot by renowned animal photographer Tim Flach.

Among the high-end lineup of canine talent is British Vogue editor, Edward Enninful’s Boston Terrier Ru (@RuEnninful), as well as Instagram stars Ramsey (@Bluestaffy) and Bruno (@Brunotheminidachshund).

In conjunction with the shoot, Save The Children has partnered with BorrowMyDoggy to set the world record for the most dogs in Christmas jumpers.

If this sounds right up your alley, then head to Battersea Park on Sunday with your pimped-up pooch for the world-record attempt.

Helena Wiltshire Head of PR at Save the Children, said: “For so many families, their furry friends are an integral part of their Christmas celebrations and with the rise of ‘petmas’ presents on the highstreet, we wanted to include man’s best friend as part of our Christmas Jumper Day fun.

“All money raised through Christmas Jumper Day could help us bring essentials like healthcare, education, protection and food to the millions of children around the world who are missing out on the most basic support.”

It seems we really can make the world better with a sweater.
