LUCY is a real water baby – and the apple of her owner’s eye.

Sharron Breadney got the seven-month-old Labrador-retriever cross from a friend around three months ago, following the death of her pet Dalmatian.

“I said I would never have another dog, but fell in love with Lucy as soon as I saw her,” said the 50-year-old from Farnworth.

“She's just adorable and so funny.”

And the Wilko sales assistant soon noticed a curious trait of her new pet.

“She loves water and will try her hardest to get in the shower when it's on.

“She also puts her paws in her water bowl as she's drinking.

“She gets on with all other animals and, being a pup, she thinks every other animal wants to play with her.”
