WE know Bolton News’ readers have the most amazing pets that deserve a mention in our paper.

Do you have a dinky dog with a character bigger than his size belies or perhaps your feline friend has many more than nine lives and has lived to tell the tale.

We would love to hear about your animals – great and small –who share your lives and what their companionship means to you.

May be your house rabbit is your friendly alarm clock in the morning jumping on the bed to ensure you do not miss his breakfast time or does your parrot sing songs or shout when you walk in the room?

Although traditional pets are welcome to be included on our weekly pets’ page we would also love to hear from anyone who has an unusual pet – one which most of us would never imagine could be domesticated or cuddly.

Every week we will feature an animal with some information about him or her from the owner.

We would also love to see your photographs and these will accompany the story.

To be included in Animal Magic get in touch with Gayle McBain by emailing gayle.mcbain@nqnw.co.uk including a photograph of your pet and information about its antics.

Please also include your own full name, address and telephone number so we can get in touch with you.

Looking forward to seeing your faithful companions and featuring them in The Bolton News.
