2 dogs die of Alabama rot
Frozen characters come to life during charades in Iceland’s Christmas advert
TWO more dogs have died of Alabama rot as vets warn we are entering the disease’s active season.
A total of 191 dogs have died since the first UK case in 2012, with 52 last year.
There have been 16 deaths so far this year, but vets say autumn and winter are the peak season.
The latest deaths happened in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.
Vet David Walker said: “Seek advice from your vet if your dog develops unexplained skin lesions.”

Elsa in ad
ICELAND brings the magic of frozen into your home with a TV ad featuring Olaf the snowman and other favourites from Disney’s Frozen 2.
Families will recognise lots of familiar faces as the frozen-food specialist teams up with Disney Animation Studios for its seasonal offering.
In it a family plays charades with a giant Olaf toy – before viewers are taken into the enchanted land of Frozen.
There, characters including Elsa and reindeer Sven act out their favourite things about the festive season – which for Elsa is “a special meal that we share together”. That leads to a scene with the family sitting down to an Iceland turkey dinner with all the trimmings.
The ad premiered on ITV last night, kicking off the season along with Argos’s Book of Dreams ad, also unveiled yesterday. Iceland marketing boss Neil
