Stuffed Victorian dog returns to train station home

The judges didn't like "train station" but were won over by the second mention in the story below: "the beloved Victorian mascot".

So BBC News wins our Headline of the Day Award.

This post is illustrated with a picture of my favourite Victorian dog, Sir William Wallace, who belonged to my great great grandmother's brother Sandy Campbell. This photo appeared in The Sphere for 13 October 1900, so he was very much a late Victorian dog.
