An animal hospital celebrated 10 years of caring for mutts and moggies with a very special guest.

Actress Annette Crosbie OBE visited the Blue Cross Animal Hospital in Colliers Wood with her dog Otto to see its vets and nurses in action.

The star said: "The facilities at the Blue Cross are extremely impressive, and I was particularly moved by the dedication of the staff.

β€œIt was a pleasure to meet some of the people waiting with their pets and I'm sure Otto made a few friends along the way.”

Staff at the Merton High Street hospital are offering six readers, plus a guest each, their own behind-the-scenes tour. To register for the draw send an email with the name of yourself and your chosen guest to press@bluecross.org.uk by July 17.
