Just for fun Pets owned by our team members

These are some of the pets owned by the vets and staff at Airedale Veterinary Group.

Top Left Photo: Rocky Eccles. Peter inherited Rocky from his mum and dad. Strictly speaking, this is Rocky III as Peter's Mum & Dad had three Standard Schnauzers, all called Rocky. Rocky I predated the Rocky films, and the name Rocky related to the colour of her fur.
