Ros Boisseau leads Mog the cat through a swimming session at Hawksland hydrotherapy pool, near Wadebridge, Cornwall. A cat that was left with both front legs completely paralysed following a horrific car accident is learning to walk again - by taking swimming lessons. Mog sustained horrific injuries and spent six weeks on a drip after a car smashed into him in a hit-and-run incident in February. A local vet suggested that hydrotherapy classes - usually for water-loving dogs - could help relieve his pain and Mrs Ashworth decided to take him for a session. Mog initially “looked horrified” when he clapped eyes on the canine hydrotherapy pool - but took to it like a duck to water and began swimming lengths.

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.
