LOAF Pottery – part of Social Enterprise, NOW Group – are delighted to announce that therapy dog Bella Bruce has been crowned the winner of Northern Ireland’s Next Top Dog.
Bella Bruce walked away with the fantastic prize of a professional photo shoot, three month’s supply of dog food from the competition’s sponsors, Werewolf Food, and a collection of Loaf’s handmade Irish Pottery, including a handcrafted dog bowl.
Bella Bruce showed she had the Woof Factor throughout her professional photoshoot, which took place at Loaf Pottery’s garden. We had the chance to speak with Bella’s owner Helen, who told us how Bella has made an amazing difference to her family.
“It took us a long time to find the perfect therapy dog for our sons. Now we couldn't imagine life without her. Our son uses Makaton but around her has started saying some words and she shows him the most exceptional love and patience. She is truly part of our family”
Although it was hard to pick from the competition pawsome entries, it is clear to see that Bella is a worthy winner!
