There are lots of elections going on at the moment, with Lib Dems across the country campaigning hard to hold and gain council seats.
There is another competition going on , however. Voting is open for Holyrood’s Dog of the Year. If you like dogs and want a wonderful way to take a break, spend some time reading about all the canine participants. We can guarantee you will fall in love with at least one of the contenders. They are all wonderful.
The sole Lib Dem entrant is Gerry, the cleverly named Springer Spaniel who owns Liam McArthur, our Orkney MSP.
Gerry is by far the most bonkers of any of the participants and delights readers of Liam’s social media.
His entry on the Dog of the Year site says:
What are your favourite characteristics of your dog?
Nose down, tail up, Gerry the Springer is never happier than when he’s on a scent. With ears that can pick up Sky TV and help him seemingly levitate, as well as his impersonation of a ‘busted sofa’ when asleep, Gerry has melted hearts across social media.
Gerry is an adored member of the McArthur family and much loved in the constituency office offering TheraPet sessions on Mondays and Fridays for staff and often constituents too.
How does your dog enhance your day to day life?
