#### Lucy’s Law book & dog charities

Lucy’s Law officially comes into legislation in England on 6 April, which means 
that third party sales of puppies and kitten will be illegal. The new law is a result
of years of campaigning from PupAid, spearheaded by Marc Abraham. In line with the
law coming into effect, [_‘Lucy’s Law – the story of a little dog who changed the world’_](https://mirrorbooks.co.uk/products/lucys-law-the-story-of-a-little-dog-who-changed-the-world)
by Marc Abraham, will be released on 5 March, and Abraham will also be making donations
from book sales to various organisations that rescue and rehabilitate ex-puppy farm
dogs.

#### Carlings & WaterAid

Swedish retailer [Carlings](https://carlings.com/sv/) has released an augmented-
reality t-shirt that can show a variety of political messages. The t-shirt is nearly
blank to the naked eye and features a small graphical logo near the neckline, which
digitally imposes bold, animated designs that comment on a political topic. With
a smartphone, the wearer can choose a design that is created for the t-shirt through
Instagram or Facebook, where it works similarly to face filters. The graphics overlay
the white material and adjust with the movement of the fabric. The t-shirt is only
available to purchase online via the Carlings website and is shipped in reusable
packaging. Additionally, £10 from each t-shirt sold is donated to [WaterAid](https://www.wateraid.org/uk/).

session with a housing resettlement worker. It is also encouraging the public to
share the artworks, available to download here, across their social media with the
hashtag #HomeIsWhere.
