- completely raw diet along the lines of meat, bones & offal (80:10:10)

- completely raw diet as above but with veg added as an essential part of the diet (not just occasional scraps)?

I feed a completely raw diet to my dog and cats of meat, bones & offal, with some raw eggs and oily fish thrown in too!! Smile

The charity is the brainchild of Allen Parton, a disabled Gulf War veteran, whose own experience with a support dog helped him rebuild his life.

His dog Endal, who died in 2009 aged 13, could respond to 200 instructions, including loading the washing machine.

Mr Parton said he wanted other veterans to experience the same rehabilitation.

Mr Parton, of Clanfield, Hampshire, now has a new support dog called EJ, or Endal Junior.

"EJ has continued to give me the same quality of life and independence that I experienced with Endal and every day our partnership grows stronger," he said.

The charity was formally registered with the Charity Commission three weeks ago and a website has been set up.

It aims to raise £100,000 for its Puppies on Parade appeal so it can purchase, train and support its first five Hounds for Heroes.

Mr Parton said: "Our first puppy is already named Juno after the D-Day beach and it is the charity's intention that all the dogs will have military and service related names."

[Image: _46310398_-19.jpg]
Endal was able to perform many duties for his owner

Mr Parton's experiences with Endal have been the subject of documentaries after he and his wife, Sandra, wrote a best-selling memoir.

Their story is also in the process of being made into a film.

In the book, Mr Parton explains how Endal helped with his recovery after he spent years in hospital and fell into a coma.

When Mr Parton eventually woke up, he could not remember marrying or having children.

Endal helped him recover physically and emotionally, Mr Parton said.

The dog could even put a bank card into a cash machine and withdraw money.

A lucky cat has survived after being trapped for four weeks in a chilled food warehouse - by eating frozen peas.

The feline managed to survive temperatures of -2C (-28F) for a month in the warehouse before it was finally rescued by the RSPCA.

The 12-month-old black and white tabby cat, who has been nicknamed 'Frosty' by RSPCA staff, is believed to have survived by eating frozen peas and licking moisture off icy food packets.

However, Frosty did not manage to escape frostbite during his time in the freezing temperatures, and had to have both ears and his tail amputated following his ordeal at the frozen food distribution centre in Northamptonshire last month.

He is now recovering at the RSPCA Woodside Animal Centre in Leicester and is expected to make a full recovery.

RSPCA worker Rachel Allcock said: 'When he came into us he was pretty shy, which isn't surprising considering the ordeal he'd been through.

'He's a lovely cat and he's become very playful. We're looking forward to his full recovery and getting him to his new home.'

Frosty, who is believed to have been trapped in the warehouse after entering in the back of a lorry, was spotted by staff in the warehouse early last month but escaped numerous attempts to catch him.

The large warehouse is maintained at a constant temperature with its main doors closed except when large articulated lorries arrive to deliver or remove palletised cargo.

Staff believe Frosty may have been too frightened to leave when he had the opportunity because of the noise and activity around the main doors.

A spokesman for the warehouse, which has not been named, said: 'We think he'd been in the warehouse for at least four weeks.

'He had been spotted on several occasions by staff but no-one could catch him.

'We have trucks coming in from all over. He could have come from anywhere. We have no idea.

'It's extremely cold in there. We were surprised that he survived. He's a very lucky boy. He was very frightened and obviously freezing cold.

'One of the lads here has offered to re-home him, so he will take him home as soon as he's well enough.

'A lot of people were really concerned about him and wanted to know how he was getting on so we're trying to organise a collection.'

The RSPCA caught Frosty in a humane trap after leaving it overnight baited with cat treats, milk and water.

RSPCA spokesman Steve Sellars said: 'It's incredible that Frosty survived for so long in such a harsh environment.'
