A dog lover whose photo won a cutest pet competition was upset to learn she'd been disqualified because her pooch was dead.
Jill Tubbs' photo of her beloved chocolate Labrador, Bounty, perched on a plant pot as a puppy picked up the most votes in a competition run by local paper, The Melksham News.
However, when Jill, who lives in Melksham, Wiltshire, mentioned that the photo was taken 11 years ago and that Bounty had died in January this year (before she entered the competition), the paper said her entry was no longer eligible.
