Graham Norton has just been signed to judge the first ever “doggy Oscarsâ€.
Backed by The Sun, the glitzy bash will reward the marvelous mutts who have made a difference to their owners’ lives.
The pets will compete in five categories – four judged by a celebrity panel including BBC’s Graham and Sun columnist Trinny Woodall.
The winner of a Hero Dog Award will be decided by Sun readers online in the next couple of weeks.
Other categories include Triumph Over Adversity, Lifetime Achievement, Quality Of Life awards and the Pickles Award – for a dog finding buried treasure.
Winners will be announced at a star-studded event at London’s Guildhall on February 6th.

Orlando Bloom was forced to split up a brawl on the set of a British TV show when his dog snapped at the sight of Irish comic Graham Norton‘s pooch.
The Hollywood actor was preparing for his guest spot on The Graham Norton Show last year with his faithful companion, Sidi, in tow, prompting Norton to introduce his own dogs to Bloom’s pet.
Norton soon regretted his decision when the actor’s animal bared its teeth and launched a “vicious” attack on his dog Bailey. Norton tells Britain’s Heat magazine,
Orlando Bloom brought his dog along to the show and I said, ‘I have my two dogs here. Would they like to meet?’ And he said, ‘That’s a great idea.’ So I bring them to his dressing room for a meeting and his dog just goes really vicious and attacks my dog Bailey.
“And Orlando goes, ‘Oh, sometimes he’s a bit odd with other dogs… I got him in a Moroccan street market.’ Then I read somewhere that it had attacked another dog in Hampstead. That’s a wild dog!”

Graham Norton, an Irish actor, comedian and television presenter, was spotted in London today walking his two dogs, Bailey and Madge.
Graham visited Dogs Trust West London Rehoming Centre this year to rehome an adorable eight month old rescue dog. Madge, who has been at the Rehoming Centre for only two weeks, was originally found as a stray. Graham instantly fell in love with Madge and adored her friendly, calm personality. She also gets on well with Graham’s Labradoodle Bailey, which was extremely important.
