Much loved dog wins national pet award

A much-loved dog from North Shields in Tyne and Wear has won a national award for being an excellent pet. 

PippaA golden Labrador named Pippa, who lives at Anchor’s St Aidans House with her owner John and Joan hall, was nominated by Scheme manager, Helen Dickie, for being a loving and faithful companion to the couple. 

Almost 200 nominations were sent in for the Happy Living Awards run by Anchor, England’s largest not-for-profit care and housing provider. The awards were launched in August with six categories: Green Fingered Customer, Best Neighbour, Extraordinary Talent, Grandparent of the Year, Community Champion and Best Pet.

Mr and Mrs Hall, who has lived at St Aidans house for 5 years, said: “I can’t believe that our dog Pippa won, out of all of those other pets, it’s fantastic. 
“Without her in our lives I have no idea where we would be. She brings us so much joy and an amazing little companion. She’s now won an award. I am thrilled.”

Scheme Manager Helen added:  “Pippa is a lovely golden Labrador, who loves everybody she passes by. She brings so much enjoy to everyone at St Aidans House.”
