Torquay paper gives dogthe push

The Herald Express has helped saved a Nottingham family’s holiday from ruin.

The Higham Family was enjoying a holiday in the bay, when they found their dog, Zippy, was starting to struggle getting up the town’s hills – until he could no longer go on.

So her owner, Isabel Higham, turned to the classified section of the Herald Express – and found a pram for sale that has transformed their stay.

She said: “We were having to carry Zippy up the hills.

“The people of Torquay have been smashing to us and we have had a real laugh. My 76-year-old mother Nanette uses the pram as a sort of zimmer frame, so it helps her get around too.

“If it hadn’t been for the Herald Express, our holiday would have been ruined.”
