A LARGE and friendly St Bernard rescued from Romania has been chosen for the Kennel’s Club’s 2020 calendar.

Tom and Frankie Burke rescued Freya in December and shared a photograph with The Kennel Club.

Now the club has chosen the dog for one of the months of its 2020 Rescue Breeds Calendar.

Mr Burke, 30, said: “Everyone we meet thinks Freya is cute. We can’t really walk very far without someone wanting to stroke her.”

Freya lives with the couple at their home in Scholars Walk on the George Ward estate in Melksham.

They obtained the St Bernard through the Saving Saints Rescue UK, a charity specialising in the rehoming and rehabilitation of dogs across Europe.

Mr Burke said: “She has a lovely calm and friendly temperament.

“We shared a photograph of her to the Kennel Club and they just loved it and wanted her for one of the months in their calendar.”
