A graffiti artwork has been unveiled at a Cornish animal rescue charity, painted by a local artist known only as 'Dogz'.

The mystery man has been dubbed the Banksy of Cornwall.

You may recognise his name as ‘Dogz’ is the talented artist whose pieces can be seen under the A30 bridge at the Nature Reserve in Hayle, where his ET and Jack Nicholson pieces have been attracting people for months.

‘Dogz’ began work on the beautiful piece at the National Animal Welfare Trust, Cornwall in Hayle on Thursday the 17th of February and it is now ready for all to see.

Splashed on to the side of the porta cabin in the parking area is a collie dog face and colourful paint splashes with the charities slogan ‘We Never Stop Caring’.

Having worked with ‘Dogz’ for a few weeks on ideas for the piece the staff and volunteers at the centre are thrilled and incredibly grateful to the artist for this amazing piece of work.

A spokesperson for the National Animal Welfare Trust said: "Why not pay the centre a visit and grab a picture with your four legged friend and the new eye catching piece?

"Open daily 11am-3pm on Wheal Alfred Road, Hayle. Don’t forget to include #weneverstopcaring in your social media snaps!"
