Paw-padding along in her own plastic ball, motorist Nick Smith watched in awe as the rodent made her way into the city centre.
He said: “I was driving along London Road with my son Ben in the car when something caught my eye in the gutter. I saw a plastic ball trundling along and it overtook me so I stopped the car and jumped out. My son didn’t believe me when I said there was a hamster inside. I was amazed.”
Mr Smith parked his car and asked if anyone had lost a hamster.
He said: “I knocked on a few doors but no-one knew anything about it so goodness knows where she came from. I decided that the only thing to do was to take her home with us.
“She’s brown and white and all she’s done since we got her home is sleep during the day but she’s up at night. We had to buy her a new cage, bedding and food – which cost about £50. How she survived is a miracle. She must be the luckiest hamster in the world – hence her new name Lucky,” said Mr Smith.
