A water company has enlisted the help of a Labrador to help detect and relocate wildlife in areas where it plans to work.

Northumbrian Water has employed the skills of Bracken, a four-year-old dog trained to detect vulnerable species including hedgehogs and nesting birds before it conducts surveys across North East sites.

Bracken, who lives with his trainer Trina Barrett in County Durham, is deployed ahead of hedgerow cutting and vegetation clearing works.
