Sweet Celebration: Pinoy Askal Wins United Kingdom's Dog Of The Year 2004!
Animal Kingdom Foundation Inc.'s dog, Sweet, is the United Kingdom's Dog of the Year for 2004. The Dog of the year is an annual contest sponsored by Daily Mail Weekend Magazine where they search for the dog with the most unusual and memorable experience.
Sweet bested over 8,000 other entries coming from all over United Kingdom and romped away with a Silver trophy, a gold medallion and a grand prize of 1,000 pounds. Prominent members of the British press judged the contest.
Several months back, AKFI operatives led by Charles Wartenberg, Suzanne Llanera, Luis Buenaflor Jr and Dr. Winston Samaniego rescued a 3-month-old mongrel from dog butchers in Baguio. Sweet, as he came to be known, was nursed back to health and brought by Charles to London to become part of the Wartenberg family.
"We never thought Sweet would become a celebrity abroad! All we want is for him to have a happy home," says AKFI's senior researcher Luis Buenaflor Jr. "He seems so helpless when I was holding him during the rescue. Now, he is a Pinoy superstar in London!" Suzanne Llanera, AKFI's officer- in- charge fondly remembers.
