Westminster Dog of the Year

Charlie, a five year old Border Terrier belonging to Helen Grant MP (Conservative, Maidstone and the Weald), is this year’s winner of the prestigious Westminster Dog of the Year title.

Viewed by many as a far cleaner fight than all other political campaigns, the Westminster Dog of the Year competition is organised by Dogs Trust and the Kennel Club, and seeks to crown a canine worthy of all-party respect.  The competition is open to all pooches belonging to parliamentarians of both houses, and this year’s prize was presented by TV presenter Jilly Goolden.
 
With poop scoop bag and sensible collar and lead in hand, winning MP and responsible dog owner Helen said of her beloved Charlie: “I’m so proud of Charlie, he’s shown the world what a fine dog he is; he truly is a canine first among equals.  He’ll celebrate his victory with a juicy bone this evening.  I’m sure his constituents in Maidstone will be thrilled that their local dog won the day.  We both think it’s so important to be a responsible dog owner.”
