A mischievous Battersea dog has been adopted by TV personality Jules Knight
A former Battersea Dogs and Cats Home resident called Honey has found herself a new home with Holby City actor Jules Knight.
Jules joins a long list of television personalities who have rehomed Battersea dogs, including fellow Holby actress Amanda Mealing, and the show’s guest star Paul O’Grady.
He has been fostering Labrador retriever cross Honey since February, and despite her occasional mischievous behaviour, Jules has decided to give her a permanent home.
The Holby actor has already had his parenting skills put to the test, as Honey has chewed through TV cables and covered his oatmeal carpet with inky paw stains, after chewing through a permanent marker pen. However she has settled in well with Jules and his girlfriend Jo Renwick in South West London, and has won them both over with her affectionate nature.
Jules said: “I have always loved big dog breeds, including Labs, retrievers and great Danes. When I was younger I had a retriever who would catch and return anything you threw at her. Honey can’t catch and she only retrieves about one in 20 balls we throw. But she’s the best snuggler in the world. Her speciality is love which she gives us 24/7.
“It was love at first sight from the moment we saw her and we would encourage anyone thinking of getting a pet to come to Battersea and give a homeless dog or cat a second chance.”
Battersea is currently undergoing an ambitious development, replacing the original kennels with brand new facilities, to improve the quality of life for its residents.
