Experience:

Winston has an impressive portfolio of experience as a dog model and animal actor. Pooches don’t come more popular than Winston. More than 100 people attended his first birthday party, and Winston has organised the Hyde Park Sausage Walk ever since, which has received significant media coverage.

Winston recently made history as the first-ever dog to appear as the mystery guest on Channel 4’s The Last Leg. This milestone follows the viral success of his Hyde Park Sausage Walk, which was cancelled by Royal Parks due to overwhelming media attention. His momentum didn’t stop there, however. Winston’s Halloween event gained over one million organic views in just four days, solidifying his status as one of the UK’s most popular pups.

He’s worked with many pet brands, such as Edgard Cooper, Purplebone and The Rockster. Also, he worked with Gousto Cooking as part of their April Fool’s Day spoof.

Winston was part of Uber’s launch campaign for ‘Uber Pets’; he worked happily along with 4 other dogs. Moreover, he has worked with Huxley on the latest Great British Pub Awards collaboration with Rover.com. Winston recently starred in a meet-and-greet campaign for Hot Point and Blue Cross, which required him to work alongside other dogs in a giant dog house.

Slumber Pooch provided a delightful photography opportunity for Winston, who also shot a campaign or Lily’s Kitchen, take your dog to work photo shoot. Most recently, he has starred in an online campaign for GoodWoof.
