OUR pet of the week had a traumatic early life.

Carla Holloway, from Hindley, has had 18-month-old Bella, a labrador and springer spaniel cross, for a year.

She said: “We got her from an old lady who had become too nervous to walk her after Bella was attacked by two other dogs when she was five months old.

She puts up with my two-year-old chasing her around all day.”
