Tragic loss of ‘prettiest dog’

TRIBUTES have been paid to Inverclyde's prettiest dog who died of diabetes three days after winning the title.

And the pup's best friend, a cockatiel named George, was so distraught he passed away just days later.

Lhasa apso Bonnie won the accolade for the first time at the PDSA show in Battery Park — and it was the last time she truly enjoyed herself.

But Bonnie's death proved too much for the yellow-and-grey bird who spent seven years growing up alongside her.

Devastated owner Lorraine King, 49, said: "George went quiet after Bonnie died. She used to say Bonnie's name and Bonnie would sit on the armchair and protect her.
