At first glance Dotty appears to be one of our weirder puppet creations, but she is in fact real!

We rescued her from the dogs home and she has been the official mascot of Pickled Image ever since. She is notorious for disrupting visitors with her persistent poking and strange vocal squeaks and mewling. For hours on end Dotty can be found in the yard at the workshop staring intently at an old drain in the ground, because you never know something may come out. Despite getting slower and more stubborn with old age she still keeps the rats at bay and belligerently challenges most dogs to a scrap!

We couldn’t do without her!!
