Gromit has been in the care of the Scottish SPCA for 142 days.

The animal welfare charity said there's been "very little interest" in the young bulldog cross so is appealing for a loving owner to help Gromit "navigate his way through life".

Gromit, who is currently staying at the charity's Angus, Fife and Tayside Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre, is said to be "very food orientated" and "loves to learn".

Rachael MacLean, regional operations lead (northeast Scotland), said: "The team in Dundee have been working on Gromit's training and have even implemented some sign language training which he loves."

Gromit goes out on daily walks with the other dogs at the centre but can get "quite strong on the lead", especially if he wants to play with the other animals.

Ms MacLean added: "Gromit enjoys the company of other well-mannered dogs, but any new owner must be able to continue his positive reinforcement and socialisation training to ensure he becomes the best canine citizen he can be.

"He may well benefit from living with another dog as long as they can cope with his boisterous and playful nature."

The charity believes Gromit would suit an adult-only home with a secure and private garden so as he can have "safe off-lead time to explore".

Ms MacLean said: "Gromit loves to play and have fun. This big bouncy boy doesn't realise his size sometimes and can be a bit of a bulldozer, but he never fails to put a smile on all our faces with his funny antics.

"Due to his background, he also hasn't seen much of the outside world, so he needs somebody to help build his confidence and keep him on the right track.

"He is a fantastic dog and would make someone a very lucky owner."
