OUR pet of the week is three-year-old cavapoo Chester.

He is a cross between a poodle and a cavalier King Charles spaniel and lives part time with his ‘sister’ Kimberley Banner on Leigh Road.

Kimberley, 26, said: “I’ve just moved out of the family home but he comes to mine for sleepovers and I just love him to bits.

“He is really lovely, friendly and mischievous.”

“He spends a lot of his time sprinting around the house and jumping off furniture.

“Chester loves other dogs and I have never met a pup so friendly, but he does get a little needy when he thinks another dog is getting more attention.

“The cutest thing he does is when he nudges you until you let him get under the covers.”
