Santa's grotto for dogs

"The British obsession with pampering dogs may have hit new heights - with the opening of the first ever pet grotto.

Not content with keeping kids happy this Christmas , indoor ski slope Chill Factore is also inviting members of the animal kingdom along to join in the festivities.

The Manchester-based snow centre invited well-behaved pets along to its special canine-friendly cave for some tasty treats and a chance to try on some festive costumes.

Lucky pups joined a queue to meet the centre's very own "Santa Paws" - a three year St Bernard kitted out in full Santa gear." Taken from the dailymirror.co.uk
