Luna – Angela’s two-year-old Golden Retriever – is in the running to be crowned Westminster Dog of the Year.

She is a buddy dog for Angela’s son Charlie, who is registered blind, and will accompany him at senior school.

Angela said: “Luna is a hero in our family. She came into our family to be a buddy dog for my son Charlie who was born at 23 weeks (17 weeks prematurely) and beat all the odds to survive.

“I would be over the moon to see her recognised for the way she has made my son’s life so much better.

“We’re really looking forward to Westminster Dog of the Year, it will be a great chance to highlight the importance of responsible dog ownership and to accelerate the work MPs are doing to improve dog welfare in parliament, particularly around irresponsible breeding.”
