Muffin finds no safe way to snatch leaflets from letterbox

THE owners of a dachshund are preparing to face supermarket giant Safeway in court over an injury to their pet.

Gordon and Susan Musselwhite claim their dog, Muffin, was partially paralysed jumping for Safeway leaflets posted through the letterbox of their home.

Retired company director Gordon Musselwhite, aged 62, and his 61-year-old wife, Susan, have issued a £2,826.65 claim against the supermarket in the small claims division of Plymouth County Court.
