Eastbourne man and his Crufts-winning therapy dog have been shortlisted for a Soldiering On Award
Bichon Frise Bella, who was named therapy dog of the year at last year’s Crufts, is up for another award.
This week, Bella has been shortlisted for the Soldiering On Awards, a military charity which recognises the extraordinary work of those who support the armed forces community.
Bella, alongside owner Barry Coase, will be vying for recognition against three other finalists in the animal partnership category, which celebrates the work of animals and their owners in and around the services community.
