Pam Newman sadly lost her dog last year but lockdown at least gave her many precious hours with him.

She said: “My dog passed on 27th July 2020. Lockdown meant we were all in the home with him all the time before he died.

“We ended up getting another sweetie pie puppy in October 2020 and he has healed my heart and soul. He is in his forever home.”
