News hounds: dogs who've made Wigan headlines

They’re “man’s best friend” and dogs have often starred in Wigan news stories over the years. Here’s a selection of pictures of canine companions who were photographed for the Wigan Observer and Wigan Evening Post, mainly from 1996 to 2003.

Some were lost but then found, some needed a new home and some were just treasured pets.
