National Animal Welfare Trust

Rescue Dog of the Year 2004

Tilly Johnson

Yes, we've officially adopted you from N.A.W.T. at Hayle after your return there so many times. Your playfulness and love of minchief, even after your early setbacks in life; your obsession with food, your intelligence and ability to learn sign language quickly despite deafness (thank you Su French), your belief that all plastic flower pots should be transferred from potting shed to paddock and your determination to turn feeding bowls into spinning tops (but only at the end of your meal) endears you to us even more. Your beauty is breathtaking especially at full gallop - bet you'd win a race given half a chance and when you curl up beside us and show so much affection it makes our day!

You deserve the N.A.W.T. Rescue Dog of the Year Award because you really are a gift from heaven. Have a happy life. Hope we will be worthy of you. We love you Tilly.

Margaret, Barry, Suzie and Max.
