| Boy brings bull to Cumbrian school for show your pet day
 Quote: When a village school invited pupils to bring in animals to show off to the class, they weren’t prepared for Thomas Bell’s contribution – his 900kg bull.
The seven-year-old farmer’s son brought his 16-month-old champion Charolais, called Hallbankgate Dragon, to show off to classmates at Hallbankgate School, near Brampton.
The school’s acting headteacher Chris Thompson said: “Two pupils from class one and two are pulled out of the hat each week to be a VIP, who can wear their own clothes, are introduced to visitors to the school, and they are entitled to bring in their most precious possession, and this is Thomas’s.
“We had the vicar’s dog, and a couple of guinea pigs, but I don’t know how anybody is going to beat this unless they have an elephant.”
Pupils from the school were invited to look at Dragon, who has won a series of top prizes at this year’s county shows, while Thomas and his parents Ian and Sophie Bell answered their questions about the animal.
Thomas said: “I brought him in because I could show off his trophies.
“I thought about bringing in Tilly, our puppy, but it would have tried to bite everyone and the bull was safer.” | http://www.newsandstar.co.uk/boy_bri...rPath=/1.96082  |
