Greek tragedy averted
2:50pm Sunday 24th February 2008
A STACKSTEADS family have raised enough cash to fly two stray dogs, which they fell in love with while on holiday, over from Greece.
Carol Capell, of Staghill Road, organised a charity night including an auction and disco, which raised £1,448 to reunite the family with their new canine pals.
The lucky dogs, named Eira and Max, are due to be flown over to their new home in May to be reunited with their new owners.
Any cash left over from the transport of the dogs will be donated to the Greek Animal Rescue Charity.

Not only would it help the dogs but it would also get you out of Stacksteads.
And that has got to be a result!!
