Calling all adorable puppers and their fabulous owners!

“Generation Pup” is an animal-friendly research project, and they are looking for puppy participants.

The study will be carried out by The Dog’s Trust, the largest dog welfare charity in the UK, and the University of Bristol.

It will observe canines as they grow from puppyhood to adulthood.

Researchers will monitor and study the health, welfare, and behaviour of dogs throughout their growth process. Sounds like a dream job, right?

They hope the groundbreaking project will teach us more about our canine companions and how they operate, leading to improved understanding of physical ailments and behavioural issues.

The research could also lead to better treatments and training procedures for our furry friends.

Suzie Carley, Executive Director at Dogs Trust, explained the potentially beneficial outcomes of “Generation Pup” further:

“This invaluable research will tell us so much more about our beloved canine companions, from behaviour issues to illness, and will give us a better understanding of the external factors that may dictate their entire lives.

“Not only will this study deliver vital insights on our dogs’ development from an early age but the results could pave the way for effective preventative measures to be put in place, or lead to new approaches for therapy or treatment for our dogs.”

The research project is asking dog owners across the UK and Ireland who have puppies 16-weeks-old or less to participate.

So, what are you waiting for? Sign up here to participate in improving our puppers' world.

So, on Friday, the gorgeous Drake released the music video for his latest single, God's Plan.

Not to be overly dramatic or anything, but I cried like a baby through the entire thing. 

I mean, I happen to be a massive Drake fan, so I may be slightly bias – but OMG, he is a dream boat. 

For the video, Drake was given a budget of just over $9 million (real casual), but instead of having an obnoxious video – he gave ALL the money away. 

Yes, really! 

The video basically follows Drake running around Miami, giving money away to people that really need it. 

He gave literal wads of cash to families who were a bit behind on bills, donated large cheques to schools, and handed out a few cars to students in need. 

The singer also took a few mega-fans on fancy shopping sprees (jealous isn't the word, but sure look!)

The best bit? All of these donations seemed to be total surprises.

Everyone that Drake gave money to seemed genuinely shocked by his generosity – there were tears. 

Since Friday evening, the video for God's Plan has been viewed over 17 MILLION times (I'm probably responsible for at least 3000 of these). 

It is also the number one trending video on YouTube at the moment, and for damn good reason! 

Most rappers use music videos as an excuse to get super outrageous (and that's perfectly fine), but Drake just dances around in a hoody, giving people his money. 

Take a bow, fine sir.

Actress Maisie Williams is best known for her portrayal of badass Arya Stark on Game of Thrones.

The 18-year old is also going to be making an appearance in another fan-favourite TV series Doctor Who.

While she seems to be keeping pretty busy with her acting career, she’s also not one to forget her friends from before she was famous.

The teenager has donated €13,000 to a charity set up by her friend from school with cancer.

According to the Bath Chronicle, the Game of Thrones star, donated the money to Willberry Wonder Pony Charity after winning it on a radio show.

The charity was set up by 17-year-old Hannah Francis who is a pupil at Norton Hill School in Midsomer Norton.

Maisie and Hannah know each other from school and when Maisie heard about the charity fund, she was keen to do whatever she could to help out.

Hannah, who is a talented horse rider, developed osteosarcoma, an aggressive form of bone cancer earlier this year.

While undergoing treatment, she has turned her fight against cancer into a mission to #KickCancersButt. She’s also turned her mascot Willberry the Wonder pony into a global force against cancer.

Maisie won the money after appearing on Absolute Radio's 'Who's calling Christian?'

 

She took the top prize after being voted the winner of best phone call, beating the likes of Sir Bruce Forsyth, Jim Carter and Sharon Osbourne.

Currently filming the next series of Game of Thrones, she told the station how the two girls met and how Hannah had started the charity.

​Maisie told listeners: "It is a heart breaking story but Hannah is doing really well."

A social media favourite, Maisie also told listeners to follow Hannah's story on social media and through her own personal Twitter account.

The Willberry the Wonder Pony charity has raised around €55,000 and the money will be divided between cancer charities of Hannah's choice.
