A HOSPITAL nurse from Barnsley made sure it was a double celebration at this year’s Crufts.
Val White and her four-legged friend Gabe strolled away with a top prize on the 125th anniversary of the world’s largest dog show.
Val, 57, and three-year-old Boston Terrier Gabe, fought off competition from a host of other dogs to scoop the coveted Best of Breed award.
Gabe was one of nearly 22,000 dogs at Birmingham’s NEC last week for the prestigious dog show, which first took place in 1891 where it featured just 2,437 entries.
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."
