Take part in virtual dog show hosted by Chichester care home

The categories are Most Obedient, Prettiest Pooch, Handsomest Hound, Best Trick, Waggiest Tail, Cutest Eyes and The Dog the Judges Most Want to Take Home.

Dog-loving staff and residents at Marriott House and Lodge will judge the entries on Thursday, August 27, with the winners announced on the care home’s Facebook page.

Prizes are available for first, second and third place in each category, for dogs and their humans.

Irene Pudduck, acting general manager at the home, said: “We’re looking forward to receiving all the photos of the lovely dogs, and have some big dog fans at Barchester.

“If you think your dog has got what it takes please share these with Marriott House and Lodge.

“We are continually adapting, and finding new ways to make sure every effort is focused on creating an enjoyable environment for all of our residents.”

To enter, email photos or short videos of your dog, along with a short biography to indicate which categories you wish to enter, to [email protected] or [email protected] before Monday (August 24).
