She’s the ultimate charity FUR-ndraiser – this Labrador is a champion charity fundraiser – raising money by completing sponsored swims with his owner. Poppy the Labrador, five has raised hundreds for swimming charities by doggy paddling across open water, accompanied by owner Bryan Avery. Poppy took to the water at a young age when she was only a puppy – and Bryan discovered her talent when the pair were out walking and Poppy spotted another Labrador jumping into a lake immediately, resulting in her doing the same.
