As some of you may know, my Golden Retriever, Fred, featured on many of my leaflets and posts on my website and his photo was often used during my campaign for tougher sentences for dog theft.
Sadly, Fred died last Christmas, aged 14, leaving a huge gap in my family's life. We were undecided whether we should have another dog but after eight months we finally succumbed and adopted rescue dog 'Rufus'.
Rufus is aged 5 and was up for adoption through no fault of his own. He is a lovely addition to our home and will no doubt be featuring on forthcoming leaflets and campaigns!
