Our very first Dogs Trust Honours Awards…

“The doggy Oscars” 2008

  What an exciting start to 2008 it has been for us with our very first Dogs Trust Honours Awards which took place in early February at the Guildhall in the City of London. This was such a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the wonderful relationship between man and dog and everyone had a memorable evening.

The night couldn’t have happened without our amazing nominees. Each dog had a different but equally moving tale to tell. So moving were the stories that there was hardly a dry eye in the house! Although there could only be one winner of each category it was a winning evening for all of them and their owners were so proud to have their furry friends out on the town for a black tie evening in London!

If you haven’t read the stories of heroism, lifetime achievement or how dogs have triumphed over adversity I would encourage you to have a read through some of them at http://www.dogstrusthonours.co.uk/.

The incredible story of Nicole Dryburgh and her two faithful friends, Molly and Daizy is enough to melt the most hardened of hearts. This is a prime example of the wonderful relationship between man and dog. The bravery of a young girl through her illness and disability is somehow connected to the unconditional love that these two dogs have for her. This hero dog story is just one of the many moving examples of how dogs can enhance the lives of their owners.
