One tiny dog had been punched in the head so hard she was totally blind and her tongue had been cut off with scissors!

Our cover star, FredFor the next few days I will turning to the ‘Bark Side’ once more, as it will be all things canine. Tony and I went to Discover Dogs today to catch up with friends and watch the Best Rescue Class, which is our favourite but always quite emotional. The suffering that some of the dogs have been through is horrific and bless them, they have emerged with their temperaments intact. One tiny, fluffy dog had been punched in the head so hard that she was totally blind and her tongue had also been cut off with scissors. The children that she lived with were responsible for these injuries and I wonder what terrible scenes the children had been witnessing in their own life that triggered them to do this to their small, loving family pet.

My new book, co-authored by my good friend Marie Miller, was launched at the APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers) stand. Our cover star, Fred, was also at the show, which was fantastic. He is such a cool character and his owner, Mina, has worked wonders with this little terrier. We headed home in the afternoon to a quiet house my daughters Emily and Daisy are both staying in London. Daisy starts filming on Tuesday and will be away for three weeks and Emily has auditions and is also preparing for the V Awards.
