Old dog learns acupuncture is just the trick to relieve the pain of finding a new home

AN AGEING dog is receiving acupuncture treatment in a bid to keep him united with his long-term pal.

Sam, a 10-year-old Collie cross, was put into kennels with best friend Hooch when their owner moved away two years ago.

Carers are desperate to have the two dogs housed together but Sam is becoming increasingly troubled by rheumatism and arthritis.
