An eight-year-old girl battling Stage 4 cancer is set to capture the hearts of dog lovers everywhere when she competes at Crufts this week, with her four-legged best friend, Echo.
In December 2021, Freya Harris, from Horncastle in Lincolnshire, was diagnosed with Wilms’ tumour, a form of kidney cancer that only affects around 80 children in the UK a year.
Last year, her parents decided to get her an Australian Shepherd puppy, Echo, to encourage her to go for walks after having to spend weeks at a time in hospital.
