Tuesday fun: Alex Cole-Hamilton at Holyrood Dog of the Year

By Newsmoggie | Tue 30th April 2019 - 1:15 pm

Some lunchtime fun to brighten your day…

Yesterday, Holyrood’s Dog of the Year competition run by the Dogs’ Trust and the Scottish Kennel Club took place with the Lib Dems represented by Alex Cole-Hamilton and his canine alter-ego, Martha.

Martha is a Dogs’ Trust rescue dog and seems every bit as irrepressible as Alex himself.

The best morning falling in love with Martha, a Lab/Setter, @DogsTrust rescue dog who I got to enter into #HolyroodDogoftheYear. Such a ball of muscle &energy! Here she’s giving me what can only be described as a ‘Nantucket Sleighride’ as she yanked me out of the photo shoot. pic.twitter.com/QlwFlQ0Ga6

And they certainly seemed to like each other.

While Alex and Martha didn’t win the competition, they and the other competitors did help the organisations raise awareness about issues like puppy farms and fireworks.

Kinda thought this was about MSP’s and their pooches, not about dogs adopted for the day. How could you only adopt Martha for the day. She would be coming to her forever home if it were me!
