"A rare moggy named Bill has been safely retrieved from the fronds of a tall tree in the Staple Hill area. His rescuer, Jamie Norse, spotted the cat whilst walking through the park whilst off duty from his career as a fire officer. The cat was later taken to a local animal sanctuary and its owner was quickly found due to a microchip implated in its ear. This time, it seems that microchipping your pets is a good idea! The owner would like to thank Mr Norse for his thoughtful deed."
I felt the colloquial use of language 'moggy' made the piece more light hearted. I also added in a little hint at some of the paper's ideology with the line 'this time it seems like microchipping your pets is a good idea!' this suggests that the paper thinks that microchipping your pets is unethical.
I have not yet taken the corresponding photograph for this story, however it will be easy to do as I have two pet cats at home and a back garden with a few trees. I feel taking a low angle shot of the tree would be quite artistic however a shot of the 'fireman' with the cat may be more appropriate for a newspaper. If this is the case then I have a few people in mind who I can ask and will be readily available.
