ANIMAL lovers can help the Leigh branch of Petsearch develop a cracking first aid idea.

After a member's lurcher badly cut her pad it needed stitching and it proved difficult to keep the dressing clean, dry and in position - until she spotted a soft spectacle case in a charity shop.

Eureka, with eyelets and a lace it made the perfect shoe.

Now these cases are on the list for everyone to collect. If anyone has one they don't want drop it in to the Railway Road office and I'll pass any on to the organisation.
