A mum says she has a heart-warming message to a dog's owner who jumped up at her daughter.
Yvonne Sellars, who lives in Ellesmere Port, said when she went to pick her teenage daughter Sophie, who experiences anxiety, from school last Thursday "she had a big massive smile on her face."
Yvonne, who suffers from hip dysplasia and a slipped disk and is cared for by her daughter Sophie, who even checks up on her mum while she's at school, said: "She was saying she was walking along Overpool Road.

"She suffers a lot with anxiety and this little dog just kept jumping up at her and wanting attention.
"The woman whose dog it was said to the dog 'not everyone wants that attention' but my daughter said it's fine, as we have three foster dogs at home and she loves dogs.
"The lady was talking with my daughter about other dogs, the little dog must have picked up on her anxiety and just wouldn't leave her alone.
"Whoever this lady is, it made her day to be honest."
Yvonne posted in a local Facebook group about the incident, hoping to find the woman and let her know how grateful she was at taking the time to chat with her daughter.
She said: "Sophie has a lot to deal with, she's my carer and she's gone through a lot.
"I had an accident a couple of years ago which damaged my back, I've got hip dysplasia and arthritis as well, my daughter takes it upon herself to make sure I'm ok, she checks up on me while she's at school, she's my little diamond.
"It was just so lovely for her, this lady made her feel really good, and the dog showed her a lot of affection, it was just so lovey.
"We would love to know who it was and say a big thank you to her.
"I put it on Facebook and thought if I could reach that person and let them know the impact they had that would be great.
"I wasn't expecting to be overcome by all the lovely comments, it was quite emotional actually."
Hundreds of people responded the Yvonne's post on Pride in the Port, with many people talking about how lovely Yvonne's story was.

One person added: "Oh how lovely to read a happy post. Thank you for sharing" while another said: "That's so nice! Is there nobody a waggy tail can't cheer up?? Xxxxxxx"
