Want to get your pet made in Lego? Legoland Windsor Resort is offering the chance to do just that this summer?
New research by the park shows that dogs are not only a ‘man’s best friend’ but that they make the best pet friends for girls too – and are often better pals than people.
The survey, marking the recent opening of a new Lego Friends area, Heartlake City, explores youngsters’ friendships with their pets, with nearly two thirds of pet owning girls (aged 6-12) agreeing that dogs make the best animal friends. And to celebrate their official top dog status, the attraction is now searching for the country’s ultimate BFF (Best Furry Friend) to be created in LEGO to take up residence in the LEGO Friends Heartlake City area.
The poll also revealed that around one in six girls think their pets are better friends than their human ‘besties’ , with nine out of ten scoring their furry friends higher against some of the friendship values they considered most important, with:
* over 40% agreeing that their pets were better than people at ‘cheering them up’ and ‘keeping them company’
* around a third rating their animals as ‘more loyal’, increasing to 40% amongst dog owners
* half of rabbit owners scoring their bunnies better at ‘keeping them company’ than their human chums
* one in three saying pets were better listeners than people and less likely to be ‘mean’ to them.
Children can nominate their pet dog to be recreated in Lego by posting on picture of them and their pet on the Legoland Windsor Resort Facebook page and telling the team why their animal is the ultimate BFF. Submissions required by 10 July 2015. The successful submission will be informed by July 14 and must be available to attend the Resort on Thursday August 27 with their pet.
