An adorable pair of Chihuahua pooches who are best friends and can't bear to be apart are looking for their forever home. The two senior dogs are living in the West Lothian Dog Trust centre in West Calder.
Eight-year-old Victor and his pal Viola, who is also eight, love each other very much and cannot bear to be apart so are looking for a new home together with no other pets.

Although the old dogs enjoy short walks they would much prefer a lush little back green where they would have the freedom to get fresh air in a place they feel safe and confident.
A staff member at Dog's Trust wrote: "Victor and Viola are looking for a calm and quiet household with children over the age of 16 years old.
"They can go for short walks, but much prefer to spend time pottering in their garden where they feel safe and confident."
And added: "Victor and Viola are looking for new owners who are used to nervous dogs and who are at home most of the day."
Dogs Trust coined the phrase ‘A dog is for life, not just for Christmas®’ over 40 years ago and it is still a message they want to drum home today.
Many choose a dog based solely on their appearance without undertaking research into where the dog has come from and how the dog will fit into their daily lives.

Sharing your life with a dog is a wonderful experience, bringing years of companionship and love. It is also a lifelong commitment – a decision that should never be made lightly or ‘just for Christmas’.
