Dozens of dachshunds attend woman's 102nd birthday

A miniature army of dachshunds descended on a care home to help a resident celebrate her 102nd birthday.

Laurice Clark, who lives at Scarlet House in Stroud, Gloucestershire, loves the breed and used to show them at Crufts when she was younger.

The home put out an appeal for dachshund owners in the area to bring them along to her birthday tea party on Thursday as a special surprise.
