The owner of seven Shiba Inu dogs who help out Merseyside Police officers hopes her pets can steal the show at Crufts 2023
Karen Jones, from Ashton-in-Makerfield, owns the animals, who all work as well-being dogs and assist officers in the region with their work. The 57-year-old is hoping her pets can help continue her decorated record at the event.
Karen has twice trained her dogs to be UK champions in their class, while all seven have previously won lifetime entries to Crufts. But when the Manchester Arena bombing took place in 2017, Karen – who works as a rental development coordinator – began taking her dogs to Manchester Children’s Hospital to support victims, as well as helping Merseyside Police.
