Supported by PTES and BHPS, he has helped to survey and protect hedgehogs, appearing in one research paper, with another one on the way.

The Naturo Superdog Awards is a celebration and recognition of the UK’s most exceptional dogs. Winners of each category were decided by an online, public vote, and celebrity dog-lover Stacey Dooley hosted the ceremony. Henry won the Worker category, which is a celebration of a dog who has gone above and beyond in their working role.
We are so proud of Henry and how his work has helped hedgehogs around the UK.
