SUPER SPANIEL

Daring dog missing half a lung now eyes Corbetts

- RUTH SUTER

A SPANIEL who had half a lung removed as a successfully completed all of Scotland's 282 Munros.

Monty, seven, conquered his final Munro on Mull alongside his owner, Gavin Ballantine, on Saturday.

It took the pair four years to complete their journey of mountains in Scotland over 3000ft as they amassed 1455 miles of trekking across 640 hours. Their elevation gain was the equivalent of hiking Mount Everest 17-and-a-half times.

Gavin, 40, from Culross in Fife, told the Record: "It has been a tremendous effort from Monty. I'm really proud of him. I believe he is only the 20th dog to complete all of Scotland's Munros.
