A BRISTOL University student’s hopes of improving the health of dogs have been given a boost after she scooped a £10,000 award at this year’s Cruft’s dog show.
Emily Milodowski received the Student Inspiration Award as part of the first ever International Canine Health Awards at a special ceremony at Birmingham’s NEC.

Emily, who owns her own seven-year-old border collie named Baloo, could hardly believe her luck at receiving the prestigious award.
“I could not believe I had won,” she said.
“I first heard about it last year at Crufts when it was announced. I thought it would be a great opportunity and my supervisor at university said I should do it.
“But when I received the email after the interview in February I had to read and re-read it several times before it sunk in.
“And then even before I told family and friends I read it again just to make sure I had not missed anything.”
The largest veterinary awards in Europe recognise leading innovative researchers, veterinary scientists and students who are significantly impacting the health and well-being of dogs.
The large monetary cash injection is presented to help individuals further their work.
And after taking a year out from her studies to work on an initial project into wound infections, Emily is looking to further explore the effect of bacteria to help with treatment.

“Well done Emily!
Dogs are better than humans in many ways.
My dogs are everything to me, so is my wife.
That said I'd still like to take Emily out for a drink or two...bang tidy.”
