Jezz from Welwick, Near Hull has won the Grand Final for dogs in the Companion Dog Club competition at London’s top Canine Event, Discover Dogs.

Canine behaviourists, trainers and authors Annette Conn and Carolyn Menteith congratulated owner, Carol Sandrey and Jezz at Earls Court, on Saturday, 11 November for their achievement and presented them with their prize of doggy treats, kindly supplied by PetLondon.

Dogs of all shapes and sizes and backgrounds joined in the fun of the competition and were judged on their relationship with their owner, general behaviour and condition. The competition consisted of the following five categories; Prettiest bitch’/ ‘Handsomest dog’, ‘Waggiest Tail’, ‘Best OAP’, ‘Best Double Act’ and ‘Best Rescue’.

Carol Sandrey, said: “I can’t believe it and the fact he is a rescue dog and a crossbreed is amazing.  He’s come a long way. When we rescued him, he had lots of scars and was starving and literally looked like a skeleton.  The vet said his chances were not good and he may die.   With love and affection he has made a remarkable recovery and I’m ever so proud of him.”
