PDSA

Veterinary charity PDSA, external advises giving dogs and cats extra blankets for their beds over the winter months.

The PDSA, the UK's largest veterinary charity, is celebrating a decade of awarding the medal, described by the animal charity as the "animals' OBE", to animals who have demonstrated outstanding devotion to their owner or wider society.

Max has been immortalised in his hometown with a bronze statue and last year became the first pet to be given the PDSA's Order of Merit, known as the animal OBE.

The PDSA’s Dickin Medal for gallantry, though, has been given to 32 pigeons, four horses and a cat.

In September, he was awarded a gold medal for bravery from British charity PDSA, an honor that had previously only gone to dogs.
