To mark the 200th anniversary of The Westmorland Gazette in 2018, we are publishing a photograph from our archives on our website every day this year.
Today's photograph shows Isabel Atkinson of Appleby Road, feeding her piglet Toby and Highland terrier Chips.
They had become the best of friends after Toby was bitten by a rat in 1951 and was carefully looked after by Isabel at her home in Kendal.
You can see all of the archive photographs uploaded so far by going to http://www.thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk/news/gazette_200th_anniversary/
