After winning the competition to be crowned the most photogenic pet in West Sussex, Spencer and his owner, Zoe Stuttard, were invited to take part in a photoshoot at the development following the easing of Covid-19 restrictions.

Zoe initially decided to enter the competition to showcase brave Spencer, who went through a terrible back operation last year and was unable to walk.

However, soon enough, the six-year-old miniature dachshund, who is small in stature with a big personality, quickly bounced back to full health and is now as playful as ever before.

Ginny James, sales and marketing director, said: “We were delighted to welcome Spencer to Yapton View for his VIP photoshoot.

“The last year has shown just how important pets are for companionship and with this competition, we wanted to shine a spotlight on our four-legged friends that helped us through this time.

“Spencer looked right at home at the development and the photographs turned out fantastic.

“We live in a nearby Bovis property so Spencer felt at home during the shoot.

“I personally love living in the area as it has a good mix of beaches, countryside and nice towns such as Arundel and Chichester.

“My favourite place to walk Spencer is Houghton Forest near Arundel; he loves it there.”
