City Beautiful Commission to make a splash with dog wash fundraiser candgnews.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from candgnews.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Back in May we helped launch Britain’s Next Top Dog – a new competition looking for the country’s most photogenic canines with all proceeds going to Cancer Research UK.
The entries poured in and more than £30,000 was raised as a panel of dog-loving celebrities including Clare Balding, Graham Norton, Stephen Fry, Nigel Havers and Gabby Logan chose six category winners, before the public voted for Britain’s ultimate Next Top Dog.
It’s been a triumph for its instigator Fee Sharples, a retired nurse from Norfolk who was diagnosed with cancer in 2014.
‘Every day something wonderful has happened,’ she says. ‘It’s buoyed me up so much, as well as raising money to fight cancer and celebrating our love of dogs.’
