The amazing stories include a dog who helps her seven year old owner get through her daily dialysis treatment, a doggy star of the West End stage and a fundraising pooch who has raised £32,000 for charity through asking members of the public to ‘Pay for a Pat’.
 
Dogs Trust Chief Executive, Clarissa Baldwin, comments: “British dog lovers have been truly amazing in nominating man’s best friend for the 2010 Dogs Trust Honours. All sorts of canines are represented and all have truly wonderful stories – the judging panel and I will have a hard job choosing our winners.

Practices are encouraged to use the campaign to engage the whole practice team and raise awareness of the safe disposal of medicines with clients. Learn how your practice can get involved at rumacae.org.uk
