A WOMAN from Ivybridge who is mourning her beloved pet dog has won a Christmas prize for a photo of her much-missed furry friend.
Claire Flynn was left heartbroken earlier this year when her muchloved labradoodle, Mickey, died at the age of 11.
The care home worker submitted a picture of 'my boy' in LiveWest's Christmas competition after the largest housing association in the South West asked its customers to capture what Christmas means to them. And the 51-year-old woman instantly thought of Mickey and the huge hole he will leave this Christmas.
Claire, 51, said: "Mickey was very intelligent, so well behaved and he just loved everybody. He was so lovable, and he was one of the family. He was my boy and he is sorely missed.
