Garden shed a 'lounge' for rescue pup

13:07:20 13th July 2010

A garden shed has been turned into a relaxing lounge for a dog that was homeless for 16 months.

Jack looked like he was to become a permanent fixture at the Dogs Trust in Leeds after appeals on radio, TV and in local newspapers failed.

However, when Emma Carley visited the rehoming centre on York Road to ask about becoming a volunteer, she fell in love with Jack and brought him home to live with her and partner Jamie Johnson in Selby.

Their garden shed was promptly turned into a lounge to provide shade for their new family addition away from the sun.

"We adore him and he's being spoiled rotten," Ms Carley said.

As well as having his own garden shed, Jack has been treated to lots of cuddles.

The Dogs Trust advises pet owners to store sharp tools and chemicals securely in garden sheds, while gates and fences should be high enough to prevent animals from escaping.
