There’s little Nirvana Norris loves more in this world than dalmatians.
The seven-year-old adores the spotty dogs so much she once watched the hit Disney film 101 Dalmatians every day for an entire month.

It was hoped the youngster could spend the day with the dog before returning it to its rightful owner.
But Demi, from Bolton, decided to surprise her daughter with the ultimate present – her very own dalmatian puppy.
There were tears of joy as the Eatock Primary School pupil was greeted with 12-week-old-pup Luna on her doorstep in Westhoughton on August 5.
Mum-of-two said it “made her entire life” seeing her daughter so happy.
”I’m ecstatic,” the 26-year-old told the Manchester Evening News. “It was heartwarming. It made me really proud. It was a really nice feeling, like an accomplishment.
“They are literally inseparable – day and night. She takes her on walks and is showing her off to all her friends. She’s been really good helping out and has even been picking up poo.”
Demi believes Nirvana’s love for the breed stems from her own adoration for the spotty pooches.
“She’s completely obsessed with dalmatians,” she added. “I was the same when I was her age. She’s inherited it from me.
“I think it started when we watched 101 Dalmatians – then it turned into watching it every day for a month straight.”
Demi says she put an appeal to hire a dalmatian for the day on a local Bolton Facebook page.
And while she received several offers, the mum ended up deciding to buy her daughter
