ASDA'S Grimshaw Park branch in Blackburn has earmarked 150 cans of a special Christmas dinner dog food for the RSPCA centre at Altham.

The store's customer services manager Linda McCaffrey said: "The cans are wrapped in a Christmas design, so they are no use to us.

"We decided the kindest thing to do was to give them to the local branch of the RSPCA."
