PURCHASE K9 MAGAZINE ISSUE No 18
JODIE MARSH/IT'S ME OR THE DOG EDITION

....From the editor,

Welcome fellow dog devotees to another action packed edition of your favourite canine compendium that we like to call K9 Magazine.

In our last issue we published a rather emotionally charged article entitled, “How Can I be a Terrorist, I’ve got a Dog?” The feature told the real life story of Ahmed Tharwat an American television host and practicing Muslim. Ahmed told us how, as an American Muslim, he had been subjected to a heightened level of prejudice in the wake of the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Centre.

Ahmed explained how he reluctantly gave in to his young daughter’s pestering to get a family dog. That dog changed Ahmed’s life.

All of sudden, literally overnight Ahmed no longer felt the gaze of people looking at him and thinking, ‘potential terrorist’, ‘Muslim extremist’, ‘possible suicide bomber’. No, people looked at Ahmed, saw past his race, saw past his religion and saw past their own preconceived notions about who he might be. They saw a dog owner.

Dogs have an incredibly power to pull people together, to make people think differently about other human beings and to unite people with a common love of man’s best friend. It never ceases to amaze me how our barriers fall and our initial perceptions of people can rapidly change once we discover, they’re one of us, they’re a dog owner just like me.

You can probably guess what it’s like publishing the first UK magazine to put celebrity dog owners on its cover each issue. We talk to lots of famous folks who own dogs. We get offers to do interviews with many celebrities with something to promote, products to sell or images to maintain.

That’s all fine, it is, as they say, the nature of the beast. The thing is, we are really only interested in one thing. Are you REALLY a dog lover or is the dog an image accessory to go with the Prada handbag and Gucci sunglasses? Trust me, there are some very famous people in the world who own dogs but are far from dog lovers and you will never see them make the pages of this publication. You can take that to the bank.

In this issue we have a bumper interview with model and TV personality Jodie Marsh in conjunction with her appearance on the hit channel 4 dog training show, It’s Me or The Dog.

When it comes to interviewing famous people K9 Magazine has just one criteria. Forget what they’ve done in their career, ignore how high their profile might be, don’t worry about who their fans are. No, our interviewees have to be one thing and one thing alone.…..a real, proper, out and out, all guns blazing, full on, DOG LOVER! Jodie Marsh fits that description, and then some.

Having met Jodie on the shoot for It’s Me or The Dog it’s fair to say that whatever image you might have of her, whatever you think she is or she is not, one thing you can take to the bank from us, she’s as a big a dog lover as you are ever likely to meet and is a very interesting interviewee being a passionate animal welfare campaigner and the owner of whole pack of cool canines bursting with personality.

K9 Magazine wouldn’t be K9 Magazine without our celebrity interviews but they’re just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to delivering a full and varied menu of expert dog advice, political debate, canine health insight and a whole lot more.

Enjoy.
