When we first went to collect Cherry to take her home, the lady who ran the rescue warned me that Cherry really liked her food, and she wasn’t wrong!

Cherry soon learned to use those beautiful eyes of hers to beg for food, and it wasn’t easy to resist her.

She’d sit beside us on the floor if we ate at the dining table, jump up on the sofa beside my hubby if he ate in the sitting room, or sit beside me if I sat in my armchair to eat.

Our funny, daft, lovely girl would eat anything we offered her - broccoli, apples, carrots, bread…

One of her favourite things was toast crusts, so I always saved mine for her.

Here she is hoping Paul would give her some of his sandwich. Did she get any? Of course she did!
