A Bridgend bulldog has had a facelift - not to improve her looks though, rather to help her breathe.

Two-year-old 'Storm' had a flip of skin over her nostrils, which was constricting her airways.

Dogs Trust vet nurse Stephanie Marshall said: "A facelift is an uncommon procedure for a dog but we know it will make a huge difference in improving her quality of life."

Storm was living at the Dogs Trust centre in Bridgend, after her previous owner moved house and couldn't take her.

She has now got a new owner - and will soon go under the knife again, for surgery to improve her vision.

Bridgend pupils star in 'Schoolovision Song Contest'

Neath singing star Bonnie Tyler might be representing the UK in Saturday's Eurovision Song Contest - but she isn't the only Welsh act flying the flag for Europe this week.

Thirty schoolchildren from Llangewydd Junior School in Bridgend will also be battling it out with around 40 other countries in this year's 'Schoolovision Song Contest'.

Schoolovision 2013 stretches as far as Iceland in the north-west to Azerbaijan in the south-east.

Each participating school has recorded a music video in their own language, or about their country, and uploaded it to the competition website.

The schools will then cast their votes for their top 10 favourite entries via a live video conference tomorrow.

Llangewydd Junior School been taking part in the competition as the Welsh entry since the competition began in 2009.

Their entry this year is 'O Hyfryd Ddydd!' - or 'O Happy Day!' - described as 'a simple, feel-good song'.

Teacher Andrew Smith said: "We are very proud of our past achievements - our best result so far was fifth overall in 2011."
