Dogs of all shapes and sizes are being called to take part in the Petsure Games. The competition is designed for dogs who are elderly, disabled or have pre-existing health conditions and will be held from August 27 to 29 at the Bath and West Country Festival.

       The Games have been created by Petsure insurance to celebrate our four-legged friends.

       Some of the events will include jumpless jumps and scent-based fetch to accommodate less abled and visually impaired pets.

       One determined dog is a three-legged boxer called Tazzie who has been hard at work training for the weaving poles.

       Tazzie was adopted from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home in 2012 by Di Betts, a volunteer at the centre.

       Ms Betts, 61, said: “It is brilliant that the games are for dogs of all abilities.

       “Tazzie had a difficult start in life but is a sweet boy. Even though he has lost a leg, I know he will enjoy taking part. He is a true champion.”
