SCHOOL friends of a 14-year-old dog trainer who had his equipment stolen raised £1,600 to help him replace it.

Rory Tidmarsh's fellow pupils at Wallingford School donated the cash on a fundraising non-uniform day on March 29.

Rory, who lives with Border Collie Sonic in Aston Upthorpe, had thousands of pounds worth of dog agility training gear stolen at the beginning of March just days after being selected to represent Team GB in a major overseas competition.
