The 33-year-old double Paralympic champion, who lives with genetic eye condition Stargardt’s Macular Dystrophy, had her now-retired Labrador Retriever by her side for nine years. As an ambassador for The Kennel Club Hero Dog Award, the Stockport-born sporting star is celebrating four finalists who show the important roles four-legged friends play in society. Clegg said: “I’m honoured to be the ambassador for The Kennel Club Hero Dog Award this year because I know how important that partnership is through having a guide dog myself. “I’m really looking forward to going to Crufts because it is a phenomenal experience, I can’t wait to go back after nine years. “I’m so excited to announce the winners, especially after seeing all the phenomenal things these owners and dogs have done in their partnerships.
