Beau the Spaniel was found malnourished, dehydrated and surrounded by feces in 2019 in Gilberdyke

Seeing your furry friend arrive at Crufts is a moment full of pride and joy for any owner. But, for those who have rescue dogs, it’s even more special.

Among the rescues competing in this year’s event, taking place in Birmingham‘s NEC between March 7 and 10. This is East Yorkshire Spaniel Beau, who was rescued by the RSPCA from “horrendous conditions”.

The adorable pup was found, along with 36 other dogs, malnourished, dehydrated and surrounded by feces in 2019 in Gilberdyke, but will now compete in the famous dog show.

Before being adopted, he had “never been outside” and “never done anything,” so this is a huge accomplishment for the dog.

RSPCA inspector Tom Hutton, who adopted Beau, said bbc news: ‘I think that will be the defining moment for both of us, from where it came from to now, where it is.

‘Walking around on national television, competing with some very tall dogs. You couldn’t make up for it.

Indie, which is a type of greyhound known as a Sloughi, is also among the animals that beat the odds and made it to Crufts.

She was found injured, starved and abandoned two years ago, after being severely mistreated.

“Indie was very malnourished and we could see all of her ribs and she had cigarette burns on her butt,” her owner Nadiyah Storey explained.

He added: “She was very afraid of people and had been bitten by other dogs, so she had purple spray to cover her wounds.”

‘It is likely that she would have been used in the hunting trade along with hunting dogs.

“Every time we went to pet her, she would cower because she thought they were going to hit her.”

Nadiyah, who is from Hexam in Northumberland, first adopted Indie before deciding to give her a permanent home and adopt her.

Now, she is bursting with pride because the pup will be running on the green carpet at Crufts today.

Indie will compete alongside other dogs in a team of eight as part of the Eclipse Flyball Club, based in Morpeth.

It comes after the team was one of 16 to win their qualifying events last year.

During the event, dogs must jump four obstacles that will activate a fly box to launch a ball.

They must then return through the same obstacles without dropping the ball, while trying not to collide with the opposing team’s dog.

Nadiyah recalled: “We’re used to training dogs, but we’ve never had a dog so scared of being touched, and that’s what was so difficult.”

“We took her to a Flyball club to socialize and she slowly made progress and that’s when her journey to Crufts began.

“He’s still hesitant around strangers, but once he gets to know them, he’s great.” Indie wasn’t very good at Flyball at first, but we stuck with it and it got better and better and here we go to Crufts.

“Some people in Crufts breed their dogs and sell them for thousands of pounds, so having a bit of Indie free there will be amazing.”

He will also try his luck on the green carpet, competing in the Agility Novice Cup today at 8:15am.

Buddy’s owner, Seb Thomas, from Bridgwater, Somerset, took him in in 2018 after finding him on a Facebook rescue site.

“I went to see him, he ran away from us, he growled at our other dogs, so I thought it looked like a challenge, let’s try it,” he said. ITV News.

The proud owner recalled: “He had a lot of problems, a skinny child, a terrible coat, a bit of a biter, and now he is happy and hardly leaves our side.”

‘He will do anything we want and is almost the perfect companion. It has been many years of hard work but very rewarding.’

Seb works full time at a car dealership and dedicates agility training in his free time.

He revealed that it is a “great achievement just to have qualified” and that they can’t ask for more than to “have fun that day.”

Adding: “A little rescue dog getting 15 or 20 minutes a week of agility training, between his exercise, to get there and compete against some of the guys who probably do it a lot more than us, I think it’s going to be fantastic, So it’s huge.”

“My only ambition was to get to a grand final with him at some point, and we did that, so I’m delighted with that.”

“We’ve done everything we wanted and if we do anything more, I’ll be compensated.”

Every year at the Crufts International Dog Show, thousands of dogs of all shapes and sizes from around the world flock to one location to compete in a variety of competitions and exhibitions.

Owners and pets will compete in categories such as agility and obedience starting Thursday, with the world-class Best In Show title awarded on Sunday.

Crufts has been held since 1891 and is currently organized by The Kennel Club, considered the most prestigious dog competition in the world.

Channel 4 and More 4 will be showing the action across all four days of the show, if you want to catch Indie, Buddy and Beau on the infamous green carpet.
