His owner Ann Burrell said: 'He epitomises all that Pets As Therapy stands for. He gives unconditional love to everyone he meets.'

The adorable pair were not the only canines to catch the attention of show-goers over the four-day competition.

A common sight at the show, which attracted 145,000 visitors, was dogs dressed in outfits by their proud owners.

Some wore simple cotton vests and humorous bibs which made them stand out from the crowd.

But American Cocker Spaniel Ricky brought a little sparkle to the arena in a decorative green snood with gold detail, while his coat was tied up with purple hair clips.

Poodle Toy Lincoln was a poser and appeared to give a wink to the camera, while another dog seemed more camera shy and buried its snout in a nearby Ugg boot.

Crufts was founded in the Victorian era by Charles Cruft - with the inaugural show attracting 2,437 entries to the Royal Agricultural Hall in Islington in 1891.
