A Leighton dog who suffered a stroke and lost a leg following a car accident is being sponsored by a charity to give him the best quality of life possible.
Greyhound Freddie, who is supported by the Sponsor a Dog scheme of Greyhound Rescue West of England (GRWE), is likely to be recognised within Leighton as he works in the town everyday with owner Karen.
She said: “Despite his disabilities he is an absolute sweetheart who dances and skips his way happily through life dispensing his generous kisses to everyone he meets!
“Thanks to the generosity of his sponsors we are able to ensure that he will continue to enjoy his life for as long as possible”
In return for their generosity, Freddie’s supporters receive regular updates including cards at special occasions while their contribution helps pay on-going vets’ bills.
GRWE say sponsoring can be a great gift for dog-loving mums this Mothering Sunday.
