A WOMAN from Kidderminster put on a dinosaur costume to take her dog for a walk to give neighbours a laugh during the lockdown.
Ellie Oliver took her dog Pebbles for a walk around the Comberton Estate, where she lives with her mum, while dressed as a tyrannosaurus rex.
The 27-year-old told The Shuttle: "I already had the costume so I just thought why not go out and walk the dog and brighten people's days while everyone's stuck inside because of coronavirus."
Photos taken by neighbours this afternoon (Tuesday, March 31) show the T-rex casually strolling down the road, led by the white French bulldog, and crossing at a junction.
Ellie added: "The response was brilliant. I had people cheering out of their windows and shouting over to me.
"I was just trying to give people a laugh and spread a bit of joy."
Similar stories have emerged in other parts of the country since the coronavirus outbreak. One woman in Lincoln wore the same T-rex costume as Ellie's to go shopping at her local Co-op supermarket.
