ITV viewers were left in tears following the start of this year’s Pride of Britain awards which aired last night (October 12).
After listening to just one story from a young girl named Freya Harris, viewers were already in tears.
Freya was diagnosed with cancer and was awarded the Child of Courage accolade.
While receiving treatment, she was able to train her dog Echo to compete in Crufts and the duo came second, earning them a rosette.
A medal for Echo, Freya's pup. 🐾
