A PET charity is looking to hear from Swindon animal owners whose pets have survived the impossible.

The People's Dispensary for Sick Animals is seeking entries for the 12th annual PDSA Pet Survivor of the Year Award.

The charity is looking for pets which have displayed exceptional determination to survive in overcoming serious illness or injury.

Pets must have been successfully treated by a veterinary surgeon at a PDSA PetAid hospital, the PDSA PetAid practice or private veterinary practice for a life-threatening condition during the period January 1, 2004, to March 31, 2005.

Anyone wishing to nominate their pet should fill in an entry form, available from a PDSA PetAid hospital, PDSA shops and all private veterinary practices which treat small animals throughout the UK.

Forms can be requested through the PDSA website (www.pdsa.org.uk) or by calling 0800 917 2509.

The final date for receipt of entries is July 1 2005.
