PDSA Certificate for Animal Bravery awarded
Dotty the donkey from Scarborough has received a coveted bravery award for galloping in to save Stanley the sheep from a dog attack.

The presentation of the PDSA Certificate for Animal Bravery took place on the farm in Throxenby where Dotty and Stanley were accompanied by their owner Ann Rogers (63) who was delighted with the award. She said: “Dotty was so brave on the day of the attack. She saw her friend Stanley in distress and charged down the field to rescue him… I am so proud of Dotty and so pleased that her bravery has been recognised by PDSA.”

The PDSA Certificate for Animal Bravery was instituted in 2001 and Dotty is the tenth recipient alongside nine dogs. Each story is a unique account of inspiring bravery.
