"Strays and waifs of all shapes, sizes and colours simply find their way to her door."
Philip Tibenham reports from an unusual pub in Whitley Chapel, Northumberland. Pub owner Mollie Corby has turned the pub into a sanctuary for stray pets. At present, Molly has seventeen cats, three dogs, several pigeons, and a mouse in the pub. The dogs don't chase the cats, and the cats don't bother the mouse or the pigeons.
How has Molly fostered this spirit of animal fraternity in her pub? Do people think she's a bit of a crank?
