With Jack being a major player in his love story, Christoper knew his furry friend had to be there.So he decided to put a wee tuxedo on him and make the doggie his best man.

I wouldn’t have considered getting a rescue dog because of his age – he’s around six.
‘But when he went up to me, we just clicked. Little did I know that I’d meet my future wife at the rescue centre too.
‘I don’t believe that I rescued Jack – I think he rescued me.Make Your Own Elevated Food Bowl. You can make your own elevated pet food bowl with an $8 table from Ikea. Elevated food bowls make eating easier on dogs with arthritis and joint problems since they won’t have to bend down as much.
‘When we decided to get married, Jack had to be there. This is our family now, me, Margaret and Jack.’

Their big day was a success too. ‘He was a star – he posed for all the pictures,’ said Margaret.
‘The registrar said it was the first time he’d seen a dog being the best man.
‘We did think about Jack carrying a cushion with a ring. He had his wee tuxedo on but he went into the garden and got a bit mucky.’
