12 Nov 2004 CATS and dogs often fight . . .well, like cats and dogs. But not at the Greenwoods' home. There, Cobweb the cat and sister and brother dogs nine-year-old Poppy and Gizmo, are best of friends - for Cobweb can thank his two little pals for saving one of his nine lives. They came to the rescue when they chased off a fox which was savaging their feline friend. |

Cobweb's tail was badly damaged and has had to be been amputated, but it would have far more serious if Poppy and Gizmo - shih-tzu and Jack Russell crosses - had not come to the rescue. Winner The public can vote for a regional winner by completing a slip at Asda stores. The pets, plus another dog and four more cats, live with Linda Greenwood, her husband Jeff and their sons Tim, 21, and Daniel, 17, at Myrtle Earth Farm, Edge Lane, Higher Cloughfold, Rossendale. Linda, who has a sandwich shop in Chadderton, said: "Cobweb had a big, black furry tail like Basil Brush but I am afraid it had to be amputated. All three dogs are protective of the cats and they all get along famously." Winners of the regional heat will be announced later this month. Winners will receive £100 of Asda vouchers and a year's
supply of Pedigree pet food. |
