This week, stage and screen star Jodie Prenger, who is currently playing Miss Hannigan in Annie at Birmingham Hippodrome, visited Birmingham Dog’s Home to meet two very special dogs.

After a tour of the centre, Jodie met two of the dogs who were named that day after two of the stars of the show, Annie and her dog Sandy.

Both Annie and Sandy are currently being cared for by the centre and were previously unnamed after finding themselves in their care.

Jodie then presented staff with a brick as part of their Name a Brick fundraising campaign on behalf of the theatre and the cast and company of Annie.
