Theresa May treats dog to a new bone at Christmas church service

Theresa May has treated one lucky dog to a bone this Christmas as she attended a church service in her home village.

The Prime Minister headed to St. Andrews Church, in Sonning, Berkshire, for their 10.30am Christmas service.

She was then greeted by Blitz the dog, who she was previously spotted throwing a ball for just last week.

The black and white border collie looked excited to see the Conservative leader, who then gave him a bone wrapped up in festive paper.

FILE PICTURE - Banksy "committed criminal damage" with his shredded artwork stunt - because the auctioneer's hammer had come down, legal experts now claim. See SWNS story SWBRbanksy. Salom?? Verrell, a solicitor and a senior lecturer at the University of Law, said the artist was breaking the law at the famous auction in Sotheby's. Just as the auctioneer???s hammer went down on the Girl With Balloon and the artwork was due to go to a new owner, it instead fed through a shredder hidden into the frame. But now Salom?? says that Banksy was breaking the law with the stunt and could expect to see police at his door - if they can figure out who he is.The reason why Banksy's shredded artwork stunt actually broke the law

Mrs May, who was attending the service with her husband Philip, then opened the present for the dog and lay it on the ground for him to take.

The bone is believed to have been left over from the couple’s dinner at home the night before.

Mrs May is well acquainted with Blitz, who she regularly sees on her Sunday morning visits to church.

Using men and women fighting Isis alongside US and French allies as just one example, she said they ‘continued to demonstrate why [they] are the finest in the world’.

‘Time and again, you have stood up to aggression and those who flout the rules-based international order,’ she said.

She then added: ‘You should be incredibly proud of all that you do, just as the whole country is proud of you.’
