Jack Russell is an expert tree climber

Penny, the three-year-old Jack Russell, has a head for heights and loves nothing more than scampering up the trees at East Park, Wolverhampton, each morning.

Her owner, 68-year-old Gwen Lloyd, said Penny’s antics raise one or two eyebrows at the park.



Mrs Lloyd is used to seeing her pooch 30ft above the ground, as she’s been climbing the tree for more than two years.

She added: “She was only about six months old when she first started going up the tree. She’d go about halfway and then come back down, because she was scared.



“It’s only recently that she has carried on going until she’s almost at the very top. I think, as she has got older and probably a bit braver, she’s wanted to go further up than just the middle.

“I couldn’t believe it when I looked up and I could see her almost at the top. She was just a little dot sitting up that high.”
