The winner of the Purina® Better Together award in 2014 was Mr Chips, owned by Anna-Marie McConnell and Ian Turner, of Llandudno, Conwy.
Mr Chips was found as a stray with a badly broken leg, left with a permanent disability and also spent six months in a rescue centre awaiting a home. But it didn’t stop him living life to the full and when new owner Ian Turner was diagnosed with a complex medical condition, Mr Chips proved to be an incredible support.
