Beanz is a one-year-old Hungarian Vizsla, who won over Millie in last week's heat - we hear she hasn't stopped howling since finding out.

The energetic pup lives by the sea and loves playing on the beach.

She was recently her humans bridesmaid/best man at their run away wedding to Gretna Green!

Beanz then spent two weeks touring Scotland with them in a camper van where she enjoyed lots of long walks, including summiting Ben Nevis where she was briefly the highest dog in the whole of the UK!

She loves to get cosy under a blanket and nap after a nice walk where she to stop to say hello to every dog or human she passes by.

Beanz is described as the friendliest and most affectionate dog you could ever wish to meet!

Ollie the Golden Retriever

Ollie is a nine-year-old rescue Golden Retriever, who got a whopping 230 votes versus Sir Quilliam the hedgehog's 136. He's still being spiky about it.

Last week he also beat Brackles, Boro and Ziggy 70 votes to six!

Ollies favourite things in the world are soft toys. He’s been known to fit four teddy bears in his mouth at one time.

When he wants to go for walkies he also brings his owners their shoes.

He’s owners say Ollie is also a bit of a shoe stealer. He never chews them, but collects them and stores them all in one place to lie on for comfort when they go out.

He always has to greet his owners at the door with a gift as well, that could be scarves, gloves, stolen shoes or jumpers.

His best friend is his owners son closely followed by kitty the kitten, who sleeps snuggled into him.

He’s a big friendly (quite scruffy) giant, that is fiercely loyal and protective.

Ollie was the runt of a pedigree litter and had a problem with his head and very spindly back legs.

His family love him very much and can't imagine life without him.
