Bessie Proves a Star Performer

A NATIONWIDE search to find the Alpha Feeds Star Performer of the Year led to an outstanding winner in Bessie, owned by Marie Matthews.

The award was launched to help recognise the many dogs that are stars in their owner’s eyes and the judges were unanimous when they read Marie and Bessie’s story.

Based in Sheffield, Marie and Bessie have formed a real bond, with the little dog helping Marie to cope with her health problems.

Bessie is an 11-year-old, R.S.P.C.A rescue dog who Marie has owned since she was only eight-weeks-old. Marie refers to Bessie as just your ordinary dog, not especially talented but her best friend, something most dog owners can relate to.

However, this is where most similarities end. Bessie was crowned the Alpha Feeds Star Performer of the Year for the help and support she gives Marie who has M.E. and other health problems which cause Marie pain, fatigue and further symptoms which can make her days difficult to get through.

Cool on the Draw!

More than 300 agility partygoers warmed up the Cool atmosphere with Champagne, Christmas cake and an Alpha Feeds party bag recently at the Cool Agility event at Warwickshire College.

Congratulations go to Jane James who was very surprised to win this year’s Festive Fundraiser treats.

The organisers would like to thank everyone for their efforts in raising £330 for the RSPCA (Worcester branch), which has started their 2010 fundraising off in great style.

Geraldine Haynes, fundraising officer, was delighted with the contribution saying: “ A big thank you to everyone that entered the draw and to all that contributed to this wonderful draw and Alpha Feeds for supporting the event.”
