A GAME of ‘Find the Sausage’ at a dog show in Abingdon was won by a real outsider.

Care home activities co-ordinator Chantelle Merritt said the pack of pups eagerly searched the grounds of Bridge House care home on the hunt for the prize, oblivious to the fact it had already been snaffled.

A grey squirrel convincingly won the conquest and tucked into the spoils from on high.

The sneaky squirrel beat no less than 12 despondent dogs – who went home with their tales between their legs.
