Bred by Kate Carter (by accident), Dexter's dad is a Rottweiler and mum a tiny Jack Russell. He made it into the national papers and appeared on breakfast TV as a puppy. Now 10 years old and a much loved character.

They certainly weren't supermodels when they arrived, these rescued battery hens are now strutting their stuff around the yard and garden and laying eggs again.

Named after famous gangsters these cats have their eye on the chickens not bank rolls! They have quickly become yard favourites.
