A dad who saved a baby pigeon from drowning has kept him as a pet - and even takes him on walks with a leash.

Philip Weston-Thomas, 42, saw the pigeon struggling for survival while walking with his daughter and his wife Rebecca around Roath Park Lake, Cardiff in January.

The couple's 14-year-old daughter spotted the bird, and Philip jumped into action to scoop the pigeon from the freezing lake.

The pigeon, who the family have named Bobbi, was freezing and shaking - and so they took him home to nurse back to health.

After just 24 hours, Bobbi was back on his feet, with Philip and Rebecca planning to release him back into the wild when he was back to full health.
