Taken the next morning when Winnie was in respiratory crisis. This shows that she has a pneumothorax which is the black area around the heart and lungs.

Squashed border collie Winnie gives birth to six Xmas miracles.

Over keen sheepdog Winnie was run over by a 15 ton tractor whilst working with her owner Josh Sibley(22).

But Josh is now celebrating his own Christmas miracle as he will be spending it with her six puppies - who all survived the accident.

Winnie the border collie was pregnant at the end of October when she chased a rabbit under a huge forage harvester and got caught under the 4ft-wide rear wheel.

Josh thought Winnie was dead but despite puncturing both lungs and fracturing her pelvis the three-year-old defied the odds and now has six mischievous pups to look after.
