Bruce stars in canine calendar

BRUCE: loves a game of pool when not being charming

Bruce the Patterdale Terrier is all set for Valentine’s Day.

Complete with sparkling red bow-tie and bouquet of red roses, the lovable canine has released his own 2015 calendar to raise money for Manchester Dogs’ Home.

Striking 12 cheeky poses featuring famous Manchester sights, Bruce’s February shot shows him at his home, Black Dog Ballroom in Manchester.

The cute canine has been the mascot of the bar since he walked into Jobe Ferguson’s life five years ago.

Jobe, the bar’s co-owner, said: “We were all devastated by what happened to Manchester Dogs’ Home last year, so we have decided to donate all sales to support the work it does.”

Manchester Dogs’ Home was hit by tragedy in September when a fire killed over 50 dogs.
