A woman was overwhelmed by a total stranger who helped her when she was feeling unwell in a Co-op supermarket.
Nicola Ferguson, from West Kirby, was shopping in the Newton Co-op supermarket on Sunday, February 27 with her four and a half year old service dog, Mazey.
The 50-year-old, who has autism along with a number of autoimmune diseases, knew something was wrong when her service dog began alerting her.

Nicola said: "The way Mazey alerts me is she will nudge me and look up towards me, if I then ignore her she will start to bark.
"So I ignored her and she started barking, I realised I was being a little bit silly and sat down in the queue by the check out.
"Next thing I know an off duty police officer came over to me and asked if I was okay. He asked me if I needed a sugary drink or needed help getting home and I told him I was okay and just needed a minute."
Nicola then got up and went to her car, where she had her head on the steering wheel of her car due to feeling unwell.
She said: "He came over and asked if he could drive me home because otherwise he wouldn't have stopped worrying about me, so I said yes.
"I was so overwhelmed by the officer and his girlfriend's offer of help. It was so kind of them.
"Because I wasn't well I forgot to ask the guy's name, I just want them to know how grateful I am for what they did."
