Dog photographer wins prestigious award
Pictured: Sophia's winning photograph of Amber the Dalmatian.

Sophia Hutchinson's Dalmatian picture swept the top spot at the TOG Awards.

A dog photographer – or should we say, phoDOGgrapher has been named the 2022 International PhoTOGrapher of the Year at the 2022 TOG Awards.

Sophia Hutchinson, a photographer from Warwickshire, took home the $500 cash prize for her photograph of a Dalmatian named Amber.

The TOG Awards, organised and administrated by That Photography Spot, is entered by photographers from 24 countries worldwide, and judged by three highly-respected professional photographers. 

Jessica McGovern, one of the judges, commented on the incredible photograph of Amber: “To achieve one of the top scores in The TOG Awards is a serious achievement, but to gain the highest collated score across nearly 700 entries is remarkable. We can only see great things to come for Ms Hutchinson, whose imagery was truly stunning.”

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
