We’re excited to share that our very own Manny is Cockermouth Town’s dog of the week!💙🐶

A big shoutout to our lovely colleague Claire, who’s the proud owner of this handsome pup.

Manny has definitely stolen our hearts here at the West Cumbria office!🥰

Good morning from Dog of the Week Manny, a very im-paw-tant staff member at Cartmell Shepherd Solicitors - West Cumbria!
He often heads into the office with his owner Claire Ackerlay, who is part of the company’s wills, probate and inheritance team. She and Manny love to grab a bite to eat from one of the cafés and head to the river to sit and eat their lunch. They’re also regularly found popping in to RTSN Huddart Supplies, Cockermouth for a treat or two. 🐾🐾
Dog of the Week celebrates Cockermouth’s title of the UK’s Most Dog Friendly Town.
