Doris the Lurcher

Tell me a little bit about yourself.
My name is Doris and I'm a blue brindle rescue Lurcher. I was born in Gorey, Ireland and now live in the UK. Legend has it that my mum was a greyhound thrown out pregnant with me and my siblings. We were all rescued and driven to Brighton by a angelic lady in a transit van.

How many humans/siblings do you have and long have you had them?
I originally had 6 siblings but now live with my 2 humans. I am an only dog and obviously the boss.

Do you work? If so where/what do you do?
Yes I am a therapy dog for a local charity called Sussex Caring Pets. I visit the local hospital each week to nose nudge and entertain the patients. I love work (and the biscuits it affords me!)

If you could choose your name what would it be?
Ooooo choose a new name? My nickname is Numpty but I'd prefer Princess Dorista of Dozville. Failing that I always thought that Clara was quite nice.

What is your favourite food?
Cheese and Yorkshire Puddings.

Where is your favourite place to be?
My chair in the kitchen waiting for cheese.

What is your favourite way to entertain yourself (annoy your humans)?
Blocking walkways in pubs with my very long legs, rolling in foxpoo and shadowing my humans as close as possible on the steep stairs.

What is your greatest accomplishment?
Badger poo! Er....no, getting a splendid furever home of course.

What is your next goal in life?
I'd quite like a motorhome

If you could be/do anything for a day, what would it be?
I'd like to be Prime Minister and I'd appoint that nice Ricky Gervais fella to oversee animal rights. Either that or being Pudsey would be pretty cool.

Finally and most importantly...What was your human’s most embarrassing moment?
She says she's never done anything embarrassing but between you and me she shouted it far too loudly......
