HEARING DOGS for Deaf People has received a healthy boost,
thanks to a nationwide competition to find the Supa Dog of
the Year.
The donation of £500 to the Lewknor based charity came
after hundreds of people entered the Supa Dog of the Year
Competition, organised by North Yorkshire based Burgess Supafeeds.
The national competition was launched earlier this year to
find Britain’s Supa Dog of the Year. Well known television
personality and dog fan Peter Purves supported the search
aimed at putting dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds into
the spotlight.
Raising cash and awareness for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People,
Burgess Supafeeds has donated £1 for every competition
entry received.
Lisa Wigmore from the charity said: ‘Every donation we
receive is greatly appreciated, we train hundreds of dogs
each year so as you can imagine the cost of running the training
centre can be quite high.’
Burgess Supa Dog Marketing Manager Sarah Riddolls said: ‘We
were delighted to support Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. The
charity carries out some marvellous work and we are pleased
that the Supa Dog of the Year competition also assisted in
raising funds for such a worthwhile cause.’
