The global charity has joined forces with high-profile names such as Ronnie Wood , and to celebrate the milestone and campaign to vaccinate the next million.

Our dog Dolly is a wonder dog beagle extraordinaire! She's very loving. All dogs should be treated responsibly, with understanding and compassion, which is why I support World Animal Protection's campaign to create a better life for dogs around the world."

There are 700 million dogs in the world today. Many of them are unwanted, unhealthy and unvaccinated. Fear of bites and rabies means that millions are killed every year.

It is a tragic reality that thousands of people around the world continue to die from rabies each year, even though it's almost 100% preventable. Innocent dogs also suffer as a result.

World Animal Protection is working around the globe to end the cruel culling of dogs in the name of rabies. They've worked with governments in Asia and Africa to implement vaccination schemes since 2011 and show that this approach works. There are no human rabies cases reported in pilot sites in China since the charity worked there in 2012 and in Zanzibar since 2013.
