It's this treasured companionship that can make losing a dog so difficult.

Many dog owners will remember their beloved pet with photographs and urns.

But one former Cambridge University student decided to take it one step further and create a long-lasting memorial for his dog called Tony.

Located at Mitcham's Corner in Cambridge, it is easy to walk straight past.

The shrine, made of granite, is surrounded by low hedges on three of its sides.
