A primary school in Sunderland has adopted two hedgehogs which will live out their days on the school's grounds.
Jimmy the hedgehog has sustained permanent damage to his neck after being "kicked around like a football" by a teenager who has since been prosecuted for their act of cruelty. Then there's Huffy, who is blind in one eye after becoming entangled in a garden strimmer.
As neither hedgehog can return safely to the wild, they have been rehabilitated through Sunderland animal welfare charity Pawz for Thought, and have at last found a new home at St Mary’s RC Primary School, which is part of Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust.
