Welsh actor Michael Sheen is being linked to a film about a real- life story of inspiration. Former Royal Navy officer Allen Parton, from Hampshire, was confined to a wheelchair after suffering a head injury during the first Gulf War. The Canine Partners charity trained Endal, a Labrador, to assist him with chores. Movie producer Simon Brooks bought the rights to Endal: How One Extraordinary Dog Brought a Family Back from the Brink, written by Mr Parton and his wife Sandra. Brooks said Sheen is one of the stars he would ask to play Parton.
