Oscar the hospice hound proved to be a big hit with young Barnsley schoolchildren on Friday morning.
The new Barnsley hospice mascot – which was given its new name of Oscar by listeners to local radio station Dearne FM – is being sponsored by Lifetime.
And Shafton Primary Academy were the first group of children to meet the hound – and they were keen to have their picture taken!
Oscar will be popping up at all the hospice events throughout the year….
