My Rescue Pet: Like a proverbial duck-to-water

Living on the streets, Selena was fending for herself and her puppies before the SPCA came to her rescue.

During her stay she impressed SPCA staff with her agility, her zest for life, her sweet nature and her great cuddles, a spokesperson said.

Regardless, it was six months before Selena was able to find a new home.

Now she has one and with a new name of Sal, her new family agree that she gives great cuddles.

They say Sal has settled in like "a proverbial duck to water" with a cosy new bed, and lots of cuddles and attention for the rest of her hopefully long, happy and healthy life.
