THE latest winner of the Wellington Pet of the Month competition, run by Co-op Funeralcare and the WWN, is Pepi, owned by Brenda Brewer, who lives in Ashford Road, Wellington.

Brenda said she got the Yorkshire Terrier, who is about 12, from the Blue Cross charity at Bickleigh seven years ago after her previous dog died.

Brenda said: “Pepi is my constant companion – he’s an absolute joy. He keeps me active and brightens my days.”

Pepi won a goody bag including a strong limited edition ‘Proud to be Wellington Pet of the Month’ cotton eco-shopping bag, certificate and rosette.
