Dog photographer wins prestigious award
Pictured: Sophia's winning photograph of Amber the Dalmatian.

Sophia Hutchinson's Dalmatian picture swept the top spot at the TOG Awards.

A dog photographer – or should we say, phoDOGgrapher has been named the 2022 International PhoTOGrapher of the Year at the 2022 TOG Awards.

Sophia Hutchinson, a photographer from Warwickshire, took home the $500 cash prize for her photograph of a Dalmatian named Amber.

The TOG Awards, organised and administrated by That Photography Spot, is entered by photographers from 24 countries worldwide, and judged by three highly-respected professional photographers. 

Jessica McGovern, one of the judges, commented on the incredible photograph of Amber: “To achieve one of the top scores in The TOG Awards is a serious achievement, but to gain the highest collated score across nearly 700 entries is remarkable. We can only see great things to come for Ms Hutchinson, whose imagery was truly stunning.”

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
