A WOKINGHAM pooch is a very good dog indeed after scooping a top award at Crufts, and will be getting lots of pets and zoomies to celebrate.

Maisie is a Briard, and scooped Best of Breed when she appeared with owner Pat Hartwell at the world-famous dog show last week.

{{{image.685150}}}

Held at the NEC Birmingham, and organised by The Kennel Club, the event is one of the greatest dog shows in the world and aims to celebrate our four-legged friends.

The event ran between Thursday, March 9, and Sunday, March 12.
