A local dog shelter has issued an urgent appeal to rehome a young dog who has been returned by her adopters.
Eden faces a terrifying future if the Manchester & Cheshire Dogs Home can’t find her a forever family.
That’s because she’s an XL Bully, a breed that has this year been banned.
From 31 December, it will be illegal to rehome, breed or sell XL Bully dogs, which means many will have to be put down.
So the race is now on to find the perfect home to take young Eden in before it’s too late. She has just days left.

The shelter has been working on muzzle training with her too, as part of the new laws around the breed require them to be muzzled and on a lead at all times in public.
Eden, who is only one year old, was rBeautiful Greater Manchester walks you can get to using public transportecently returned back to the shelter by her previous owners because of her ‘wanting all the attention in a home environment’.

Cheshire Dogs Home said that the gorgeous girl is social with other dogs but is best-suited to being the only dog in the home.
Eden’s profile says: “This beautiful girl is Eden. Eden is a friendly and affectionate girl and she is looking for a loving forever home with owners that are responsible. As you may be aware from her breed description she will have to be exempted before 31st December 2023
“Due to this law coming into place we have worked very hard with Eden on muzzle training, which will need to be continued after adoption. We have also done training around dogs and people with her as well.

Beautiful XL Bully Eden has already drawn plenty of interest on social media since Cheshire Dogs Home shared her appeal.
One person wrote: “Of course she wants all the attention, she’s gorgeous!”
Another said: “Bullies are known for being very needy and loving dogs and wanting your undivided attention and love, they are the best. Please someone give her a chance.”
Someone else has commented: “We have applied and are planning to hopefully visit her on Saturday, please wish us luck! We would love to welcome Eden to our home and family! Especially after our Poppy, a large Staffie cross rescue from stray at Cheshire dogs’ home 9 years ago, had to be put down on 3rd October.”

High School Musical at Lowry, Salford – a night spent reliving our childhood | Review
Amy Williams
What a night spent reliving our childhood.
Now, I don’t want to exaggerate or seem biased, considering this is one of my favourite film trilogies of all time, but this could be the best stage show I’ve seen in a long while.
We all know how High School Musical goes, right? Set at East High, we follow Troy and Gabriella (the star basketball player, and the geeky new girl) who meet over New Year, and then become ‘star-crossed lovers’ when back at school as they’re part of two different ‘cliques’.
The duo mess with the ‘Status Quo’ when they audition for the school musical. But will they stick to what they know? Or become stars of the stage? I’m sure you know the ending.

From the costumes and the characters, to the memorable songs (there’s actually 52 songs in this production, including a mega mix at the end), they’ve kept right to the script of the films – and that’s exactly what we wanted to see.
Of course, the biggest throwback of them all is Kaycee Stroh – who originally featured as Martha Cox in the film trilogy – taking the role as Ms Darbus, and she was just as incredible as we expected her to be. And to see her do the iconic dance in the finale was unbelievable, 13-year-old Amy was screaming.
Also featuring Jason Donovan as Coach Bolton, Tobias Turley as Troy, Leonor Correia as Gabriella, Caitlin Tipping Sharpay, and Luke Bayer as Ryan, it was a proper impressive cast all round.

There was crowd interaction right from the off, as they taught the crowd a cheerleading routine to be included later in the show, plus for the finale, they had the lyrics on the big screen too so everyone could sing-along.
If we could go and see this show every single night, we would – it is absolutely brilliant.
Fontaines D.C. announce massive return to Manchester on new European tour
Daisy Jackson
Fontaines D.C. have just announced their biggest headline tour to date, including a massive arena gig here in Manchester.
The wildly popular Irish rock band are set to play a whopping 20 arena shows across Europe and the UK this autumn.
The tour has been announced in celebration of their upcoming fifth studio album, Dopamine Chamber, which is set for release this October.
Fontaines D.C. will hit the road just five days after the album drops, kicking off their European tour in Lisbon on 21 October.
Then they’ll make their way over to the UK, with shows in Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Glasgow, Birmingham and London.
Fans in their home country of Ireland are told to stay tuned for live news very soon.
As we speak, Fontaines D.C. are warming up to play one of the country’s biggest festivals, with headline slots at Reading & Leeds Festival.
They’ve already released Marianne, the first single from their new album, and frontman Grian Chatten says of the album: “The album itself is a dopamine chamber. You step inside and we test these different mind- or mood-altering pieces of music on you.”
The new record has been recorded between London, the English countryside, and Palermo, where Chatten recorded vocals in a makeshift booth built from mattresses and cushions.
He said: “There’s a poignant sense of us being on the brink of some other kind of form of humanity, or non-humanity.”
Tickets will go on general sale at 10am on Thursday 3 September, with pre-sale live from 10am on Tuesday 1 September.
You can access tickets for Fontaines D.C. in Manchester HERE.
Fans who pre-order Dopamine Chamber from the official store by 6pm on Monday 31 August will gain access to the UK pre-sale.
