    amazing photoshoots will feature on the cover of National Geographic
    one day
    By Joe Pagnelli and Danielle Desouza
    A mum-of-two who has become "obsessed" with her photogenic pet hamster hopes her
    ravishing rodent who loves to pose up for adorable photoshoots will one day feature on the
    cover of National Geographic.
    Keti Kraja, 37, welcomed Bob the eight-month-old hamster into her home in Ravenna, Italy,
    after her children Gabriel, 10, and Joy Motta, 12, begged her for a pocket-sized friend - and
    they quickly realised their camera friendly pet could be a mini supermodel.
    The hunky hamster is dedicated to his craft and spends up to an hour a day posing up for
    Keti, who owns a swimwear company, and has already filled her camera roll with more than
    2,000 snaps of him bowling, painting and even enjoying a boozy Christmas.
    Explaining how Bob started modelling, Keti said: "When I would go around the house, and
    when I saw my kids' toys and they were so small like the Barbie's house, little cars and Legos
    and Id take them and just place Bob to pose in there.
    "He looked at me with just confusion at first but now he runs to the sets I prepare and Ill
    just snap away.
    "The more photos I took, the more I wanted to take them."
    Luckily, Bob soon got the picture - and within about a month Keti could tell he felt confident
    and loved participating in the shoots, as she could see he felt safe to stay in place.
    Keti said: "Hes so still when he is modelling and he looks at me. He loves posing. Hes got
    these two big eyes - hes stunning and its so funny.
    "Now Im always out shopping for Bob for the photoshoots, buying him props and toys."
    In July 2021, Keti was looking to buy a hamster as a gift for her childr en after they had
    pestered her for years to have a pet.
    She eventually found Bob at a pet shop in Ravenna, where he was on sale for just £10 (12).

    Winston and Wilma playing together (Collect/PA Real Life). *** Real life Dr Dolittle gives animals with special needs an idyllic life and sees a rescued piglet and a paraplegic dog strike up an extraordinary friendship

    By Joe Pagnelli, PA Real Life

    A real life Dr Dolittle who gives animals with special needs an idyllic life says the extraordinary friendship between a piglet who fell from a livestock truck and a paraplegic dog who uses a wheelchair makes all her hard work worthwhile.

    As boss of Charlotte's Freedom Farm, a five-and-a-half acre animal sanctuary, Lauren Edwards, 37, has spent the past five years providing a safe haven for everything from pigs to ponies, peacocks and pigeons.

    Inspired to start the venture in Ontario, Canada, after rescuing her first sheep in 2017, Lauren, who now has more than 200 animals and also runs a pet food supply franchise, said: "Winston the golden retriever and Wilma the pig are inseparable.

    "They behave like puppies when they are together."

    Lauren, whose partner James Lambourne, 35, is a football coach, adopted Winston in July 2021 when he was eight-weeks-old.

    With no front legs and a missing sternum, he could not play with other animals as it was too risky, until Wilma arrived in September, as a tiny piglet and the pair became best pals.

    Lauren, said: "They started sleeping together.

    "One time, I caught them both on the sofa. They'd leapt on to it and I didn’t even realise they could do that.

    "When they were little, I watched them playing together and acting like puppies for hours.

    "Wilma looked like a puppy in a piglet costume.

    "As soon as I brought her into the house and let her out of the cage, she met Winston and within five minutes they were bouncing around the house and playing together.

    "She would drop her body into him. It was the cutest thing I’d ever seen. They just bonded.

    "They behave like puppies when they are together."

    Lauren, whose partner James Lambourne, 35, is a football coach, adopted Winston in July 2021 when he was eight-weeks-old.

    With no front legs and a missing sternum, he could not play with other animals as it was too risky, until Wilma arrived in September, as a tiny piglet and the pair became best pals.

    Lauren, said: "They started sleeping together.

    "One time, I caught them both on the sofa. They'd leapt on to it and I didn’t even realise they could do that.

    "When they were little, I watched them playing together and acting like puppies for hours.

    "Wilma looked like a puppy in a piglet costume.

    "As soon as I brought her into the house and let her out of the cage, she met Winston and within five minutes they were bouncing around the house and playing together.

    "She would drop her body into him. It was the cutest thing I’d ever seen. They just bonded.

    "She latched on to him. He was the first animal she met at the sanctuary and they were both so young. I

    By Harriet Bullough, PA Real Life
    A teenager who was hospitalised for nine months because of cripp ling depression and a
    dangerous eating disorder is training to be a doctor - thanks to her one-year-old sausage
    dog.
    Just 17 months since she left inpatient care, Molly Anderton, 19, is starting a degree in
    medicine at Edge Hill University in Ormskirk, Lancashire - claiming she passed the gruelling
    online interviews as she had her pet pooch, Lexie, perched on her lap.
    Molly, who lives with her loss adjustor mum, Leslie Andrew, 52, a single parent, in
    Warrington, Cheshire, said: Lexie gave me the confidence to pursue medicine.
    If it wasnt for her, I dont think I would have been able to. She was at every interview, as
    they were online because of Covid, so she was hiding on my lap, keeping me calm.
    Battling severe depression since she was 13 - exacerbated by the death of her beloved gran,
    Susie, 86, soon after she started secondary school - by May 2019, Molly was so poorly she
    was hospitalised.
    Recognising that her depression was cumulative, she said: "It wasnt caused by just one
    event.
    It was tough when I moved to secondary school. I struggled to make friends and I didnt
    know anyone, so I felt really lonely.
    Then my grandma passed away and it was just a really hard time. Dealing with it all alone, I
    didnt have any friends to turn to.
    Acutely shy, as her feelings became more unmanageable, Molly tried to take back control
    through compulsive behaviour - restricting her food and exercising obsessively.
    But, by February 2019, she admits she had become a danger to herself and was admitted to
    Ellern Mede Ridgeway, a north London inpatient centre specialising in the treatment of
    eating disorders.
    It was a tough time, she said.
