Three-legged dog regularly walks six miles to ride steam train

A three-legged dog with a passion for locomotives has become a regular attraction on board a steam train.

Despite losing a leg in a car accident Peggy the Jack Russell often walks six miles (9.7 km) from her home in Rhewl, Denbighshire, to Berwyn station.

She joins tourists on the train and can ride up to seven-and-a-half miles (12 km) of track through the Dee Valley.



Owner Dilys Lloyd regularly gets phone calls from the guards asking her to collect Peggy from Llangollen station.

Mrs Lloyd, a retired teacher, said: "She loves going for a walk and appears fascinated by the trains, especially if she can have a free ride."

She added: "She's a little monkey, she is honestly."
