Corrie Star Ozzy Adopted By UK Pet Food Company

Yorkshire pet food producer Burgess is currently engaged in a drive to raise pet owner awareness of its dog food brand. The company has just announced that it is adopting the latest Coronation Street star, the Black Lab puppy - Ozzy - as its brand ambassador.

Ozzy appeared on Corrie at the end of October, in a storyline that saw hairdresser Maria Sutherland (played by Samia Smith) give the puppy as a gift to factory owner Liam Connor (Rob James Collier). Ozzy will act as brand ambassador for the company's Supadog ranges of dog food.

Christine Neasham, head of marketing at Burgess, said: “Ozzy is a delightful puppy who will no doubt become a star of the show."
