New weather app for dog lovers
A new weather app for dog lovers combines utility with support for good causes including Dogs Trust


You can help re-home and shelter dogs simply by checking the weather with a Dogs Trust theme that is available for download on the free Weather Puppy app.
The app provides you with a puppy picture that accompanies the weather, displaying different puppies depending on the weather and the time.
The Dogs Trust theme is available for £1.49, or more depending on how much you would like to donate, and enables you to upload photos of your own dog to create your own theme, or you can choose from the 10 other available themes.
The Weather Pupp app is available for download via the App Store or at www.weatherpuppy.com
