2010 marks the 150th anniversary of the Battersea Dogs' and Cats' Home. As well as a state-of-the-art Cats' wing designed by Charles Knowles Architects, Helen has been commissioned to create a statue to commemorate the occasion.  

Lyla was still only a puppy when she arrived at Battersea and thankfully her story is a happy one. Lyla was the first dog to be fostered as part of a new strategy to save the lives of more animals. She was lucky enough to find a permenant home with her foster owners and now leads a happy dog's life.
