AN INJURED tortoise is about to experience her first winter without hibernating after being attacked by the family dog.

Gertrude, a 35-year-old Spur Thigh Tortoise, was set upon in her garden by her owners pet Labrador, Hamish.

After suffering cuts and bruises which required stitches Gertrude is now recuperating - but her injuries mean she will have to stay awake this winter to recover.

Instead of letting her go into hibernation for the cold months, vets will trick the shelled pet into thinking its still summer using heat lamps.
