A brave young girl battling Stage 4 cancer will fulfil her dream as she walks on stage at Crufts with her beloved dog Echo this weekend.
Eight-year-old Freya Harris was given the Australian shepherd puppy by her parents last year to encourage her to go for walks after gruelling treatment for her rare kidney cancer.
She has been in hospital for weeks at a time, causing her muscles to shorten – but her best friend Echo has helped her through her ordeal.
