HOYLAND woman Tracey Steel suffers from animal allergies - but that didn't stop her Cairn terrier Charlie from picking up a prize at the world's most famous dog show.
The 13-month-old pooch took third prize in the puppy dog class for his breed at Crufts at Birmingham NEC.
Owner Tracey, 41, who is allergic of short-haired dogs and cats, had to be tested before she got Charlie so she knew the breed would not set off her allergy.
She said Charlie was such a hit in Hoyland that he is now official mascot for the town's Beggar and Gentleman pub. He can sometimes be seen propping up the bar, perched on a bar stool.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
