What do singer Lewis Capaldi, the Duchess of Cornwall and Olivia Attwood all have in common? Their pet pups are in the running to be named Celebrity Dog of the Year.
To celebrate National Dog Day on August 26, home and business solutions specialist BiGDUG is honouring celebrity pooches across the UK.
In the running are ITV’s Lorraine Kelly and her Border Terrier Angus, Actor Tom Hardy’s pooch Blue, and TV presenter David Walliams with his Border Terrier Bert, Olivia Attwood with her rescue dog Lola, as well as pooches owned by, Marvin Humes, Pete Wicks, Charlotte Crosby and Kate Ferdinand.
Polly Maclennan, Public Relations Manager, at BiGDUG said: “We thought it was time the limelight is shared by giving these pups the chance to win their very own award.
“Especially with the year we’ve had, we know dogs and other pets across the nation have played a huge part in putting smiles on our faces, and they deserved to be recognised.
“This National Dog Day, we’re looking forward to crowning Celebrity Dog of The Year as voted by the public – because who doesn’t love looking at photos of cute dogs!”
