And the winner will be rewarded with the opportunity of becoming the face of a new marketing campaign for Vets4Pets.

Kerensa Scott, veterinary surgeon and owner at Vets4Pets Carrickfergus, said: “Working in the veterinary profession means I often hear unique stories of pets doing something remarkable.

“For most owners, their pets are a member of the family and a source of companionship, but for some owners, their pet is also a one-of-a-kind hero.

“Whether it is a dog who has saved someone’s life or a cat who has survived a life-threatening illness or injury, we want to hear all about it.
