Along with owner Alexandra Hughes, a returned Salvation Army Major, the ten-year-old Pets As Therapy pooch makes weekly visits to Fordwater School in Chichester, putting a smile on the faces of the children with special needs, as well as comforting adults with learning disabilities at the Wrenford Centre.

Evie has also transformed lives helping people with dog phobias.
