P
upils at a village school near Stone have gone barking mad for their pets in a competition organised by a house building company. Children from all year groups at Tittensor First Primary School were invited to send in their funniest pet picture as part of a David Wilson Homes competition in light of the recent National Pet Month. The winner was nine-yearold Jude Brayford of Year Four, when his 13 year old pooch,
Dolly, became the star of the show. Regarding his and Dolly s win, Jude said: I am so shocked at winning the competition as Dolly is 13-years-old and sometimes needs a doggy pushchair to help her to walk. Thank you so much for choosing us, we are really happy to win. National Pet Month, which ran in April, aims to celebrate and raise awareness of responsible pet ownership, and with this in mind David Wilson Homes chose to celebrate the nation s pets with the competition at Tittensor First Primary School. Gail Craig, Headteacher at Tittensor First Primary School, said: We are immensely proud
of Jude and Dolly for entering and winning the competition. Both Jude and Dolly are superstars. Thank you to David Wilson Homes for organising the competition as animals play an important part in our lives. Steve Barton, Senior Sales Manager at David Wilson Homes Mercia, said: The UK is a nation of pet lovers, and as the UK s leading homebuilder it s important that we celebrate our furry friends. Plenty of great entries were submitted by pupils at Tittensor First Primary School, and we had a wonderful time looking through pictures of the children s pets. It was definitely a difficult decision, but we couldn t say no to Dolly.
