💜 *A Decade of Purple Poppies... A Decade of Making a Difference* 💜

This year is incredibly special for Murphy's Army as we celebrate 10 years of our Purple Poppy Campaign. For the past decade, together we've honoured and supported the incredible animals who served and continue to serve alongside our emergency services and Armed Forces.

As we mark this milestone, we are delighted to announce our 2026 Purple Poppy Campaign beneficiaries:

💜 *Bransby Horses - Rescue and Welfare* - providing lifelong care for horses, including retired Police Horses.

💜 *WAGs Retired Police Dogs* - supporting retired Police Dogs as they enjoy the retirement they've earned after years of dedicated service.

💜 *They Also Served Memorial Fund* - Established to create lasting tributes to the animals who served to show our gratitude and honour.

Every Purple Poppy purchased, every share, every conversation and every act of support helps us continue our mission to remember, honour and give back to these remarkable animals.

As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we'd love you to join us in making this our biggest and most successful campaign yet. Together, we can make a real difference for these deserving charities. 💜

Thank you for standing with Murphy's Army over the past decade, and here's to another amazing year of remembering those who served without choice.

The power of a dogs nose....just Amazing!

A study by Andrews et al (2022) found that a dog's olfactory system has a direct olfactory-occipital tract (aka, nose to visual brain). Why is this important?

🔹This was the first documentation of a direct connection between the olfactory bulb and occipital lobe in ANY species!
🔹 It may help explain why blind dogs often get around remarkably well

What this means, is our dogs could be mapping the world via smell AND sight, meaning our dogs could quite literally be 'seeing' with their nose.

📢📢Puppy Foundation Stars!!🥳🏆

Huge well done to this lovely lot (and one other!) For passing their RKC puppy foundation award.
This course was one week shorter for these guys ...thanks to a dreadful instructor planning their holiday 🙈🤣
So they had to work extra hard to achieve in a shorter time frame....but they absolutely smashed it!!
I can honestly say they have been a delight to teach!!

Well done all of you!!👏🏆🥳🎉
Huge thank you as always to the amazing Fish4Dogs and their puppy packs...its safe to say that all the pups were VERY excited about them 🐟🐟🙈🤣
