Do you have a weird or wacky pet?

Do you have an unusual pet?

 

 

 

 

Then we want your stories for a new feature on ITV Westcountry.  Our intrepid reporter Julie Fisher is trying to find the region’s wackiest, weirdest and strangest pets.  Perhaps you have a bird that can sing the latest pop songs or pick the correct lotto numbers?  Or perhaps they have a look that stands out in a crowd? 

 

Whatever it is we want to hear from you so get in touch.
