A utility company has become the first in the UK to use a sniffer dog to track down and save -- a protected species of NEWT.
Three-year-old springer spaniel Freya has been trained to detect Great Crested Newts by smell, ahead of Wessex Water laying new pipes in the ground.

The region in which the company operates is a "stronghold" for the nocturnal amphibians, which are protected under UK and European legislation.
