Consider this. A new survey has revealed that it costs on average pounds-20,000 to look after a dog over a canine lifetime. Great Danes can cost as much as pounds-31,840, which works out at a lot of Pedigree Chum over the years. Just think how much of your mortgage you could have paid off by now instead of buying Fido all those treats week after week.

And what did you get for it? Dog slobber all over the new suite.
