John Barrowman set to host Specsavers Hearing Dog Awards 2012

John – star of Torchwood, Desperate Housewives and Tonight’s the Night – will anchor the event and was one of a number of high-profile guests attending the awards in Central London on Thursday (18 October).
The entertainer is a huge fan of dogs and has had a number of four-legged friends over the years. 

John tells us: "As a lifelong dog lover, I know the amazing relationships that people have with their dogs. But since being introduced to the work of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, I have seen just how much of a lifeline these dogs give to their deaf recipients removing some of the isolation and loneliness that hearing loss can bring.
"With this in mind, I am delighted to host the Specsavers Hearing Dog Awards 2012 and really look forward to seeing just how these incredible dogs have completely changed the lives of so many."
