A POOCH scooped the jackpot in a Tetbury prize draw proving its a dog’s life in a barking turn of events.

Springer Spaniel Rolo on the £150 first prize in the Tetbury Lions’ monthly 200 Club draw after his owner Ian Cunningham registered him following a plea for new members.

"Rolo has asked me to express his surprise and delight at winning on his first time in the draw," Ian said.

"He would have conveyed this message to you himself but he has been very busy since with media appearances as well as placing orders for industrial quantities of pedigree chum."

The Lions club currently has 134 members and is appealing for more. Membership is £13 a year.
