Meet the reindeer near Market Harborough, who thinks he’s a dog!

Available for over a year

No, it’s not a bad Christmas cracker joke, but the true story of Lars the Reindeer from Market Harborough. Lars needed some human help because his mother wasn’t producing enough milk. After some intensive intervention he’s back on track but he’s more than happy to stroll into the house, curl up by the fire, and even enjoys a scratch behind his ears. BBC Leicester’s Ady Dayman spoke to Lars’ owner Angie Nelson.
