A local dog training centre held a sponsored Remembrance Day 'Stay' this weekend.

On Sunday (8 November), Meadow View Dog Paddock and Training near Braunston-in-Rutland hosted its Remembrance Day 'Stay', which was hailed a "huge success".

The sponsored event brought together 24 scent and agility school team dogs and their dedicated handlers, to "honour service and sacrifice in a unique way".

"To the moving strains of 'Honour Him' from the film Gladiator, the dogs and their handlers held their stay for an impressive three minutes and forty-eight seconds," organisers said.

"This is no small feat, particularly for many of these dogs who have been on remarkable journeys of rehabilitation, and overcoming behavioural challenges.

"Their success was a personal triumph for each dog and handler alike, symbolising resilience, trust, and teamwork."

Remembering Heroes 2026 raised vital funds for Hero Paws – Life After Service, a charity that provides rehoming, veterinary care, behavioural support, and ongoing welfare for retired military and service dogs.

Over £1,600 has been raised so far and "thanks to the generosity of supporters, every penny raised will help ensure that these loyal dogs, who have given so much to their handlers and to the country, receive the care and recognition they deserve in retirement".
