Jean Findlay tells daycare staff she wants to cuddle a red setter dog - and her wish is granted.
Image caption,With her 98th birthday coming up on 30 November, staff asked what she would like as a present.
"She said she wanted to cuddle a red setter for 10 minutes, as she fell in love with them when she had four of them, which she bred, and even showed at Crufts," support worker Jayne Hyde said. "As soon as her care worker told me, I knew I had to do something - I'm literally like a dog with a bone - so I put an appeal out on several Facebook sites and by the next morning, people were coming forward."An Irish red setter owner from as far away as Boston in Lincolnshire volunteered, but two breeders from Downham Market, Norfolk, said they were going to be in Cambridge on Thursday and offered to bring their dogs to the centre.
Ms Findlay's daughter said the family was "amazed by people's kindness" and "blown away" by the gesture.Find BBC News: East of England on
