Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.What better tribute to our favourite furry friends than to immortalise them in chintz, swag, cushions, lighting and other items of a home's interior?
Doggy design has been strutting the catwalk and hanging off high street rails this autumn. That it has filtered through to furnishings shows pooch-based design is here to stay.
An obvious way to add canine charm is with a cushion. The fashion designer Ben de Lisi's range of homewares for Debenhams includes a red one featuring his Pug Ella, on sale at £6.
John Lewis has a sober grey cushion, with a cute Scottie dog outline in black-and-white embroidery. RE, a Northumberland homewares store, has a sweet "Dog and Slipper" cushion, made from recycled cream felt wool, £49. Cute and kitsch lighting is another way to bring some pooch into your parlour. Matt Pugh has designed this Wooden Dog Lamp (£129) for Pedlars.
Graham and Green has several doggy interior treats. Get this Animal Nightlight for a little one (£69), these smart Dog Head Hooks (£17.50 to £22) for the dog walker, or an Abigail Ahern greyhound lamp (£399). And a terrier-shaped paper rack, the Companion Rack by designer Gavin Coyle, £75, helps tidy up.
