Lennox came into my life when he was just over a year old, after I adopted him from Dogs Trust Salisbury. From that moment on, he was my constant.

Over the next 11 years, Lennox carried me through some of the most challenging and transformative times of my life — a difficult marriage, a divorce, moving across the country, rebuilding from scratch, and eventually finding happiness again and growing a family.

He was there for every version of me. Quietly loyal. Steady. Kind.

Lennox passed away suddenly after becoming unwell, and the loss has been immeasurable. He was more than a dog — he was family.

I wanted to honour him in the best way I know how. On Christmas Eve, I’ll be donating the full amount raised here to Dogs Trust, in Lennox’s name — to help them continue giving other dogs the same second chance that changed both of our lives.

Thank you for taking the time to read Lennox’s story, and for supporting a charity so close to my heart.
