“Where do I even begin to describe what Milo means to me? I know many dog owners will understand when I say I’d truly be lost without him,” says Louise Hunt Skelley, athlete mentor, commentator and Paralympian. 

“When I’ve felt my lowest, Milo has remained my one constant and reminded me of what truly matters in life. That he needs me and I need him.”

She adds: “There are days when I wouldn't have left the house, but because of him, I have, and it’s turned my whole day around. Equally when I’ve been unwell, he’s unwavering loyalty to not leave my side is what truly gets me through.

“He’s my adventure buddy, best friend and ultimate companion through and through, and I’m truly never happier than when he’s by my side.”
