A POORLY Lowton youngster's dream came true with a trip to Chester Zoo.
Emma Davies, 8, of Milldale Road, suffers from the rare C.H.A.R.G.E. Syndrome.
She was born deaf and in 1992 had open heart surgery.
Animal loving Emma, who helps feed the family's two guinea pigs, rabbit and goldfish, always wanted to go to the zoo.
And with the help of Stockport based 'When You Wish Upon A Star', a charity for sick children, her dream became a reality.
The charity organised transport for the family, including Emma's 12 months-old baby brother Joseph, and a tour of the zoo with an educational volunteer.
Emma's mum, Heather, said: "Emma loves animals and this was a dream come true for her.
"We would like to thank everyone at the charity, especially Stella, the educational volunteer, for making it a brilliant day."
Anyone who thinks 'When You Wish Upon A Star' can help their child should ring 0161 292 1083.
