Woodgreen Pets Charity Partners with Disney’s Lilo & Stitch to Help Families Understand Their Mischievous Dogs

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, June 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Woodgreen Pets Charity and Disney’s Lilo & Stitch have teamed up to celebrate the joy, unpredictability and unconditional love that dogs bring into our lives, as the new Lilo & Stitch live-action film is now in cinemas across the UK. In a heartwarming video created in collaboration with Lilo & Stitch, experts at Woodgreen answer queries from curious owners about their new ‘dog’s’ antics because nobody gets left behind or forgotten, even mischievous pets.

Some of the rather unusual questions posed to Woodgreen – home of Channel 4’s The Dog House – include: ‘My dog wants to use a human toilet’ and ‘What shall I do about my dog hotwiring my car?’. But even Woodgreen’s most experienced pet specialists didn’t know what to say about intergalactic aliens.

Getting a pet can be difficult, from helping them adapt to their new home, to building a bond and learning how to speak their language. The collaboration between Lilo & Stitch and Woodgreen highlights that it’s OK for pet owners to reach out for advice and support. Lilo’s world is turned upside down by Stitch’s mischievous, high-energy exploits such as stealing food, knocking over furniture and lashing out when scared – all relatable behaviours to anyone who’s ever owned a dog.

Fiona Cooke, associate director of advocacy and policy at Woodgreen, said: “Stitch isn’t bad, he just does bad things sometimes because his needs are misunderstood – just like dogs in the real world. And like Lilo saw the good in Stitch, we see the potential in every pet. They are part of our ‘Ohana’, despite their many quirks and behaviours that may seem alien to humans.

“Similar to Lilo in the film, people welcome pets into their homes without knowing how to handle their unique personalities. We get questions every day – our experts have heard it all and we’re always happy to help…although we may struggle with alien houseguests!”
