Murdered UK lawmaker's pet named Dog of the Year

Amess was stabbed to death while he was meeting voters in his constituency of Southend this month.

A 25-year-old man of Somali heritage has been charged with his murder.

Amess's Conservative Party colleague, Andrew Rosindell, said the 69-year-old would have been proud of Vivienne having won the contest between dogs of British parliamentarians.
