Bentley the dog as a puppy
Bentley the ladder-climbing bulldog, Appleby, Cumbria, Britain - 28 Nov 2015
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/romq
Bentley the bulldog may be small, but he's proved he has a head for heights.
The three-year-old surprised his owners when he took a shine to walking up a ladder.
VIDEO FOR LICENCING: https://vimeo.com/147830553
YOUTUBE VIDEO: https://youtu.be/VC9WSApDIac
Matthew and Nicola Morgan, both 34, were amazed to see their pet scaling the 15ft ladder to get to the first floor of their barn.
The couple from Appleby, Cumbria, run their own tree-surgery business and have just moved into a rural property.
Matthew explains: "The first time he did this he was very cautious; he stopped about nine or ten rungs up and seemed to finally realise what he was doing, but after a pause he continued on his way.
"He is very inquisitive dog and likes to be high up. He always likes to stand on the back of the sofa and look around.
"We think Bentley might smell mice or rodents."

Cumbrian nuclear bunker goes to auction
Cumbrian nuclear bunker goes to auction. Potential buyers view property mooted as a music studio, novelty Airbnb or even a hideaway for world war three.
It’s a property with no windows, no running water and no mod cons except for a phone line. But there is parking, the countryside is phenomenal and when Armageddon happens it could be perfect.
This week will bring the rare sale of a 1958 nuclear bunker in the Cumbrian Dales near Sedbergh.
It was one of about 1,500 Royal Observer Corps monitoring posts built across the UK at the height of cold war fears of nuclear attack.
Potential buyers on a visit to inspect a Royal Observer Corps nuclear bunker near Dent Railway station in Cumbria. The site is being offered for sale at auction with SDL Property Auctions who have listed it with a guide price of £15-20,000.
The once in a generation opportunity is to buy a ROC Nuclear Bunker otherwise known as A Royal Observer post. This particular site was one of many built in the 1950s and was designed to provide protective accommodation for three observers to survive a nuclear attack, they were expected to report on the nuclear bursts and on the fall out of a nuclear attack. They were provided with enough food and water for fourteen days and had a land line and radio communications available to them.

This week will bring the rare sale of a 1958 nuclear bunker in the Cumbrian Dales near Sedbergh.
It was one of about 1,500 Royal Observer Corps monitoring posts built across the UK at the height of cold war fears of nuclear attack.
Potential buyers on a visit to inspect a Royal Observer Corps nuclear bunker near Dent Railway station in Cumbria. The site is being offered for sale at auction with SDL Property Auctions who have listed it with a guide price of £15-20,000.
The once in a generation opportunity is to buy a ROC Nuclear Bunker otherwise known as A Royal Observer post. This particular site was one of many built in the 1950s and was designed to provide protective accommodation for three observers to survive a nuclear attack, they were expected to report on the nuclear bursts and on the fall out of a nuclear attack. They were provided with enough food and water for fourteen days and had a land line and radio communications available to them.
Dent, UK. 22 July 2024.

'It stinks': Windermere plagued by blue-green algae as 'toxic as cobra venom'
Campaigners accused of 'scaremongering' despite tests of algal bloom in lake exceeding WHO guidelines.
All summer Pete Kelly has been paddling around Windermere collecting water samples for the sort of bacteria that upset swimmers' stomachs - officially for a Dutch academic project, but also as the owner of Swim The Lakes, an adventure swimming company.
Pete was supposed to be leading 15 swimmers on the Millerground Mile, a guided swim from Windermere's western shore. But after multiple positive bacteria tests this summer, plus confirmed cases of poisonous blue-green algae at 10 different spots around the lake in the past month alone, he has switched the swim to nearby Rydal Water.
