NURSERY school youngsters were visited by two special guests yesterday.

Cassie, a Doberman, and Sally, a 14-month-old blue roan cocker spaniel joined staff and children at the Just Learning Nursery, in Stockton, on Take Your Dog To Work Day.

The dogs, who belong to nursery manager Lucy Frain spent the morning at the nursery, and Ms Frain talked to the children about pet care and respecting and looking after animals.

She said: "We could not let Take Your Dog To Work Day pass without inviting Cassie and Sally to join us.

"The children were all looking forward to making a fuss of them, but we also hope they will have learnt a little about the responsibilities involved in owning a dog."
