Chance to learn first aid for paw-ly pets

Fancy giving a cocker spaniel the kiss of life? Or CPR to a St Bernard? An Island animal charity says it's hoping to give dozens of dog owners the chance to learn lifesaving skills next year.

The Isle of Man Greyhound Aid League says it wants to subsidise 30 places for pet owners to learn canine first aid in 2025.

It's holding a charity auction from next month to raise funds to contribute to the courses so attendees will only need to pay £10 each.

The training sessions will take place on Saturday, January 25 - if you'd like to reserve a place, you can email Kim Kneen on caninefirstaidcourse@gmail.com
