A compilation in today’s news of some of the dogs who made headlines this year. 
Included is the story of Bobi, who I’m sure you all remember reading about back in the news in October. Sadly he passed the rainbow bridge, but at the incredible age of 31.
”Despite outliving every dog in history, his 11,478 days on Earth would never be enough for those who loved him.”
And who remembers Rocky the dog in May when, during a hike on England’s highest mountain, he just stopped walking and refused to get up.
The “injured and exhausted” pooch, who was reportedly of the Akita breed, remained “cool, calm and positively regal” throughout the rescue by the Keswick Mountain Rescue team.
The rescue team was allocated the job after the dog’s owners initially rang the police, requesting assistance after their pet refused to walk on their return journey from Scafell Pike - England’s highest mountain in the Lake District.
