Chris Slight, from Dogs Trust Evesham said: "The weather was atrocious that day and I dread to think what could have happened to Pete Cartwright if Bentley hadn't raised the alarm."

Bentley led staff to where Pete was, and they helped him back to the centre, where he was wrapped him in dog blankets, to warm him up until the ambulance arrived.



After hospital tests Pete recovered and was welcomed back to work by Bentley. The canine hero is still looking for a home.
