Setting off across the rugged moors, the lush Yorkshire countryside stretched out before me.
It was January 2023 and I just loved my daily strolls with my 1-year-old cocker spaniel Eddie.
‘Ready for an adventure?’ I asked, clipping his lead to his collar.
‘Woof,’ Eddie barked in reply.
As his tail began wagging in sheer excitement, I sent a silent thank you - Eddie had come into my life the previous August, after I'd lost my last dog.
