THEY call them man’s best friend.

But Chito the Doberman is most definitely Hollie Kavanagh’s best chum.

The trusty pooch was clever enough to lead Hollie to victory at this year’s Crufts.

Hollie, of Littlemore, was one of several Oxfordshire animal lovers to succeed in the prestigious annual show at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham.

Training a dog takes a lot of patience and dedication, qualities that are valuable in us all.

A huge well done to all of our winners, and no doubt a hearty woof of congratulations from all of their four-legged friends.
