A Scots school girl suffering from a rare spinal condition which left her temporarily paralysed from the neck down has been reunited with her beloved pet dog.
Brooke Gibson woke up complaining of a sore neck and a limp arm on November 27 and was rushed to Crosshouse Hospital after losing control of her head.
The nine-year-old was sedated and transferred to the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow as she struggled to breathe, eat and communicate with her family.
