TWO dogs from Andover beat the likes of ‘Superman’ to come top in a fancy dress competition.

George and Crystal were entered into the dog fancy dress show at St Mary Bourne flower show and fete by their proud owner Avril Tiggerdine dressed as a bride and groom.

Their rivals included Superman and a king, but the two eskipoms were declared victors on the day and shared the first prize rosette.

Avril admitted that it was pure luck that got the dogs their prize.

She told the Advertiser: “It wasn’t until I got to the fete that I realised there was a dog fancy dress competition on.

“The dogs were already in their costumes so I entered them and they won.”
