WINNIE, a six-year-old Jack Russell who lives on Gordon Street in Leigh, is our pet of the week.

Owner Matthew Padgham, 32, a equine bedding supplier, said: “We have had her since she was a puppy.

“Her very unusual colouring is what made us choose her and it also makes her stand out in a crowd.

“Winnie is a very special and loving dog and we have entered her into a few charity dog shows and she has always been placed.

"She loves playing with her toy balls, walks and cuddles and she has two sisters – a Jack Russell called Angel and a Manchester terrier cross border collie called Rio.”
