A Cumbria dog competition honors pets that have positively impacted owners’ lives, with winners earning prizes including a glamping trip.

A competition called "Your Dog, Your Hero" is recognizing dogs in Cumbria that have made a meaningful impact on their owners’ lives through companionship or bravery. Inspired by the Lake District Mountain Rescue Search Dogs Association, the contest is sponsored by the Lakes Collection and supports local search dog efforts. Dog owners can nominate their pets by sharing stories online. Monthly winners receive a £180 hamper of treats and supplies, with finalists advancing to a public vote for the title of Cumbria’s ultimate canine hero. The grand prize is a five-star glamping trip for the winning dog and owner at a dog-friendly UK location. Entries are still being accepted, and full details are available online.
