1^st Paddy – 12,769 votes

Tony Corrigan from Leeds said his 12 years old Golden Retriever Paddy makes him smile every day.   “Paddy had a stroke last year and I had to feed him with a syringe. The vets said he would never be able eat or drink without help again, but Paddy proved them Wong. He can’t walk far as he has arthritis and he nearly lost his eye this year too – but he keeps smiling. A lot of people tell me how much they look forward to seeing Paddy on social media every day, there are a lot of lonely people. I was amazed how many people voted for him”

2^nd Banjo 11,736 votes

Gem May from Manchester was one of the first to congratulate Tony and Paddy. She told us “Banjo is a truly happy boy. He smiles lots, especially when he knows he is going to have treats or when he’s going to the private field, or when his friends visit.”

“Unfortunately, the public don’t get to see Banjo’s smile because he must wear a muzzle in public due to the breed specific laws.”

“Banjo is roughly around six years old. I adopted him from a local dog rescue when he was a puppy.”

“Banjo makes me smile every day with his antics, he is such a clown. He really does have a way of cheering people up.” “He is definitely looking forward to his SmartBones – he especially loves the peanut butter flavoured ones!”

3^rd Poppy 7373 votes

This seven-year-old Bearded Collie is owned by Lisa Brownson from Altrincham, Cheshire.

“Poppy makes me smiles every day, even though she has been through a tough time. She was diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia at six months old. She has had surgery on one hip and now has degenerative bone disease – but she is still such a happy dog. “As she can’t walk too far, she has a stroller and we have some lovely trips out. Poppy has many different smiles; she has won the hearts of many. I have many videos of Poppy greeting people when they come to visit, she really does smile! She is my world and helps me so much with my anxiety.”
