Harry's first official public meet and greet

We love the outdoors so when we were asked to attend the CCM Show we jumped at the chance. This will be Harry's first public event, so if you want meet Max Paddy and Harry and a very stressed owner please come along and get some puppy cuddles! 

We'll be heading down in the Woofsporter and doing a talk at 1.15pm Saturday and Sunday.

Here's the press release bit....


Spaniels Max and Paddy and new puppy Harry will attend the 2019 Caravan, Camping & Motorhome show.

 

The organisers of the Camping, Caravan and Motorhome Show are pleased to announce the attendance of hill bagging spaniels Max and Paddy with the new addition to the family, Harry the puppy with their owner Kerry Irving. Max and Paddy have become internet and social media sensations since 2006 when Kerry started sharing their adventures.

 

The story begins with an awful car accident that saw owner Kerry Irving, of Keswick, Cumbria, being left with chronic back and neck pain. This resulted in the active outdoor-loving Kerry housebound and taking up to 27 tablets a day and quickly led to deep depression all until he met Max. Kerry started taking Max on regular walks around The Lake District which eventually dramatically improved Kerry’s physical and mental health.

 

Kerry started sharing his and Max’s adventures on Facebook in 2016 and once puppy Paddy joined the clan their popularity skyrocketed. Max and Paddy now have a following of over 73,000. They now take part in a variety of charity walks raising thousands of pounds for numerous good causes and they do a number of public and television appearances.

 

All of the hard work has not gone unnoticed, in August this year Max and Paddy received a commendation from the PDSA for providing comfort, support and joy to thousands of people. And only this month they won The Great Outdoors magazine Personality of the Year – Gold Award for inspiring thousands of outdoor enthusiasts.

 

The Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show takes place on 19th – 24th February at the NEC Birmingham, with Max, Paddy, Harry and Kerry appearing on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th February.
