THE REX FACTOR

Biscuit, the Drivetime Mascot 2009
MEET THE MASCOT

Say hello to Biscuit, Drivetime Mascot 2009.

Johnny Mains is the proud owner of Biscuit, who is a two and a half year old Bearded Collie/ Terrier cross.

Biscuit was a rescue dog from The Blue Cross pet charity, but he now lives happily with Johnny in his new home.

Though he still continues to be "as mad as a bag of snakes, but the most loyal dog on the planet".

Biscuit, we salute you, and welcome you as Drivetime's very own mascot.

*Also, you can become our Mascot's virtual friend, just give his Facebook profile a poke!

The team received thousands of pictures during The Rex Factor 2009, check out some of the galleries below to get a little taster...
