He has been patiently waiting for an owner to turn up and take him home - but he is yet to win anybody over. Three-year-old Rocco was taken into the RSPCA's Warrington, Halton and St Helens Animal Centre through no fault of his own when his owner's circumstances changed.
The Presa Canaria crossbreed has been placed on the charity's extra-special animals list as he "has never known how to be a dog". A statement reads: "During his stay with us, he has become one of the centre's favourite gentle giants. He loves to play and has very puppy-like behaviour so daily training with him is essential which his new family will need to continue with him.
