A LOCAL veterinary surgery is asking the public to help decide which animal should win an annual bravery award.

Okeford Veternary Centre is looking for a pet to receive their Braveheart of the year award. Each month the centre chooses an animal that has shown outstanding bravery during their treatment. These monthly winners are then put forward as a nominee for the annual Braveheart prize.

You can see the list of nominees in the practice or by visiting http://www.okefordvets.co.uk">www.okefordvets.co.uk

You can vote for your favourite by filling in a form at the centre's reception desk and posting it into the voting box.

The winner will be awarded with a Katie Bater Memorial Cup and a framed photograph of their pet.

For more details call the centre on 01837 52148.
