Some people support you by shouting from the sidelines.

Some send a message when they know you need it.

And some very casually tell you they’re not coming… and then turn up anyway. 😂

Sam had made it very clear she wasn’t going to the Chinese Chow Club event.

So imagine my face when she was in the car park…

And honestly, this photo is about far more than just the two of us.

Because the older I get, the more I realise that the things we build, the things we survive, and the people we become are rarely down to us alone.

We need our people.

The ones who show up.
The ones who believe in us when we’re don’t believe in ourselves. 
The ones who make us laugh when everything feels a bit much.
The ones who remind us that we don’t have to carry everything ourselves.

And community isn’t just about having people around you.

It’s about having people who make you better.

People who challenge you, encourage you, celebrate you, ground you, and occasionally turn up somewhere purely to make you cry in public. 😂and those sneaky fuckers who’ve turned getting a hug out of you into a national sport…

Bon Dog exists because of a dog called Wilson.

But everything it has become has been shaped by the people who came along afterwards.

And I think that’s one of the loveliest things about building something from the heart.

You start with one thing you love.

And somehow, along the way, you find your people.

And sometimes they even lie to you about whether they’re coming. ❤️

One dog. A whole weekend. 

The Wilson Weekend in Partnership with @allaboutdogsshow 2026. 

Two whole days of chow chows, old friends, new friends, imposters and a community that never ceases to amaze me. 

What started with Wilson has become so much bigger than just one dog. 

This year it was a full on celebration of the breed we love. Educating, embracing. Remembering those who have left their mark on our hearts and celebrating the ones who currently make us work on having a strong sense of self 😉. 

I had an absolute dream team with @chinesechowclub , @dognitive.behaviour  and @lordkodabear_chowchow ‘s Mum @pawsandprintsessex  and @sbchowlife  alongside incredible friends and my brand ambassadors.  The goody bags made even better by @butternutbox  @dogbowldave @twiggytags  and @tailandtag kind donations. 

But none of this year would have happened if it wasn’t for All About Dogs giving me the space and support to turn an idea born from one very special dog into a weekend celebrating an entire community. 

Thank you for letting me do this 💛. 

Thank you to every single person who came, supported, volunteered, shared a story, brought a chow or an imposter, joined the parade or simply just became a part of it. 

The one thing that stood out to me over this whole weekend was a community so strong it’s like family. We celebrate the highs with sheer joy, but when the lows hit we can, in an instant show how strong and bonded we are. 

This was The Wilson Weekend. 

And I think he’d approve. 🦁🌈.

This weekend was for Wilson. 🤎🐾

What an amazing, emotional and truly special day at @allaboutdogsshow 
To see Wilson’s beautiful face there, surrounded by so many people who love and remember him, was so special 🥹

And @bemorebondog… we couldn’t be prouder of you 🤎 What started with an idea to do something special in Wilson’s memory became something so much bigger - a whole weekend bringing Chow lovers together and celebrating the breed we all adore. You put your heart and soul into making it happen, and seeing it all come together this weekend was just incredible.

Of course, none of it would have been possible without the help of some truly amazing friends who rallied around you and made the whole thing even more special. And a huge shout out to the @chinesechowclub & @dognitive.behaviour for being part of something that will mean so much to so many people 🤎🐻

One dog. A whole community. A lifetime of love.

Because of Wilson. Always. 🐾🤎
