Pets or no pets? How one family believes the arrival of two dogs was God’s provision

Our family unit consists of three adults, two children and two furry goofballs aka Pepito and Lola our Spanish rescue dogs.

When we moved from Hertfordshire to Essex in 2014 the plan was always to get a rescue dog for our son to help ease his transition into a new Primary School with a new set of friends and a new home church. Not only did we as a family move to a new home church but my husband was the new Minister. This came with its own set of issues but I really felt for my son as he did struggle with the new changes in our family and church life.
