Back in May Pudsey and Ashleigh became the sensational winners of Britain’s Got Talent.

Seventeen year old Ashleigh Butler and her dog Pudsey had already made a name for themselves as champions in close heel work in both regional competitions and at Crufts. Thanks to a little prompting from Ashleigh’s Mum and Grandmother they decided to enter Simon Cowell’s popular talent show beating off incredibly tough competition to take the £500,000 first prize.

I was fortunate enough to be commissioned to shoot a range of images of the duo doing their thing for Your Dog magazine. Both were a delight to work with and Ashleigh couldn’t do enough to help showing off her wonderful skills as a dog trainer and Pudsey’s prowess as a performer.
