I have to give a nod to the people of North Notts here. As someone from this area myself, I can say that we are memorable characters. Many of us value structure and routine, often carry an air of cynicism, but also have hearts of gold. We sometimes need a strong reason to step outside our local communities, as we are deeply rooted in them. We take pride in the specific parts of North Nottinghamshire that we hail from, whether it be Mansfield, Sutton, Kirkby, Warsop, Hucknall, or Worksop. Having a sub-identity within the county is a common trait we embrace. Despite our quirks, we are friendly, straightforward, and possess a fantastic sense of humour. We have a dry wit and a unique ability to find comedy in the mundane aspects of life.

Denise, founder of Cuckney-based Doggy Dens UK Rescue, shared this photo of Seb. Seb was left for dead in Macedonia and rescued by Pawpers in the Ruff (Doggy Dens' international partner). He did not have an easy start in life, but has come on leaps and bounds during his rehabilitation process. Seb was found dumped with the trash, malnourished and on death's door. Now, he is thriving and making progress with his new family. Recently, Seb (and owner Sarah) launched a fundraising walk for Doggy Dens, with a walk in Sutton, and raised more than £100 for the charity. Seb is nominated for animal rescue of the year. Denise said: "Seb is one of the most beautiful dogs I’ve met. He is an absolute fighter."
