The Blue Cross, one of the UK’s leading animal charities, is supporting a fundraising appeal to help the plight of Sandbag and Hesco, a dog and cat currently living with British soldiers at their base in Um Qasa near Basra.

The Government has rejected a 6,000-strong petition to bring the pair back from Iraq to live with the soldiers who adopted them as camp mascots two years ago.
