Golder Retriever Buster, the dog of SNP MSP David Torrance, has actually won the Holyrood Dog of the Year competitors.
The contest is run every year by the Dogs Trust and Kennel Club to raise awareness of animal well-being concerns.
Now in its 5th year, 13 MSPs got in the competitors (consisting of 3 who participated with Dogs Trust dogs).
Buster has actually gone into the contest every year however this is the very first time he has actually won. Torrance said he was “an absolutely fantastic dog”.
“When I come home, he’s loving, we go for a walk, we de-stress. He’s absolutely fantastic for my mental health,” the MSP included.
The winner of the general public vote was a three-legged greyhound called Joy, gone into by Green MSP Mark Ruskell.
Tess White’s Kura put 2nd and administering officer Alison Johnstone’s adopted-dog-for-the-day Oakley was 3rd.
