A cuddly dog called Henry is using his appealing looks to bring in money for the Oxford Children's Hospital campaign.

The large fluffy toy is an eye-catcher in the window of Witney gift shop, The Painted Chameleon, in Corn Street. Owner Fiona Marfell is raffling him as a charity Christmas present, giving the proceeds to the hospital campaign.

She said: "Henry is a big dog with little needs who is helping the little people with big needs. I'm sure we will raise a lot of money. All the children on their way to and from school notice him and stop to have a look."

More than £5m has been raised so far for the new Oxford Children's Hospital. The campaign, supported by the Oxford Mail, needs £15m.
