‘They are both massive dog lovers.’
However, we’re not so sure Larry the Tabby cat, the nation’s favourite political pet, will be best pleased at the arrival of the new animal on the block. Larry’s official Twitter account posted: ‘Confirmation that Downing Street is going to the dogs…’But Mr Abraham isn’t worried about the pair, adding that the little dog has been living in a foster home alongside a cat and is already house-trained.
