Dog's on a sure footing at toilet

A DOG nicknamed Grumpy Stumpy spent almost a year mastering how to go to the toilet, after an operation to amputate his front limb left him tumbling over every time he went for a wee.

The lhasa apso, now renamed Harry, had been taken to Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home and needed his leg removed.

David Ewing, 53, general manager at the home, said: "He tried to lift his leg to go to the toilet and kept falling over."

Now, after being rehoused with Doreen McTernan from Bonnyrigg, Midlothian, the dog has finally learned to balance.
