'Sensory gardens' for illegally-bred puppies

The puppy trade in Scotland is estimated to be worth around 拢13m a year, but a large proportion of them are thought to be illegally bred. Many of these in so-called puppy farms - where multiple dogs are continually bred and kept in poor conditions. Animals bred in that environment also struggle to adapt socially.

The SSPCA has come up with what they're calling a 'sensory garden', to provide mental stimulation, physical exercise, and to encourage puppies to develop their natural senses. The Nine's Ben Phillip has been to see it.
