Steve said there had been great support from the community.

He added: “I’ve bumped into so many people who have said ‘oh, you’re the guy who’s got Cody’.

“People recognise me and telling me that they had voted for the picture.

“But a lot of the support we got came from the Staffy groups from Facebook.

“There were quite a few voting for us daily. My phone never stopped with notifications.”
