Sharwood, a Gordon Setter, has given blood 45 times as of 19 July 2025. He has attended blood donation sessions since 2017 with his owner Sue Mitchell and has given a total of 25.3 kg of blood, which has helped to save the lives of over 180 other dogs according to the charity Pet Blood Bank UK.

To give blood, dogs must be healthy and between 1 and 8 years of age. In each sitting around 450 ml of blood is taken and processed before being sent out to vets for life-saving procedures.

Sharwood has now retired as a blood donor.
