Picture special - find out who had the waggiest tail at Stratford dog show
DEXTER, a four-year-old whippet, is a happy hound.
He was judged to have the waggiest tail at a fun dog show held at Ambleside care home, Evesham Road, Stratford, on Saturday (13th April).
But Dexter was not the only four-legged champion. Other awards were presented to dachshund Scamp (best puppy), shih tzu Toto (obedience) and sprocker spaniel Presley (agility). There was also an award for old-timer Seal, a 13-and-a-half year-old sprocker spaniel.
The other winners were the charities, the Dogs Trust and Guide Dogs for the Blind, as the event raised more than £336 for them.
Home manager Charlotte Levin said: “We are delighted to say that our ‘barking mad’ Amblewoof Canine Competition was a massive success.
“Here at Ambleside, we know just how beneficial animal therapy can be for older people, especially for those living with dementia, as being close to animals can help lift a person’s mood and encourage social interaction.
“Many residents had dogs in their younger years and this was a wonderful opportunity to encourage reminiscence of our furry friends and much-loved family pets.
“A big congratulations to our paw-some winners and I would like to thank everyone that made the day so special.”
Around 60 people attended the event.
