LUDLOW’S fund-raising basset hounds have now been joined by a bull dog.

They raised a whopping £755 at this year's Ludlow's Food Festival.

That is nearly double last year’s collection which was £397.30.

This is attributed to the addition of bulldog Rosie which attracted even more people to donate to The Brooke Hospital for Animals.

The Brooke reaches more than 1.2 million animals which in turn helps around 6 million people in the world’s poorest communities.

The fund-raising bassets Phoebe, Hayley and The Dude, along with Rosie, are the beloved friends of Lyn Bailey, from Ludlow.
