She won a silver medal in the three-day equestrian event at the 2012 London Olympics, riding 11-year-old High Kingdom (left, on High Kingdom in 2018). King George V kept a parrot named Charlotte (inset top, with Princess Elizabeth) who would even eat at the dinner table. King Charles loved his Jack Russell Tigga, who died in 2002 aged 18.

Yigit Onkan Sazak, a vice president at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, says he and wife Belma's Jack Russell, Sirius, badly broke a hind leg on a £2,500 course of canine therapy in Suffolk. Mr Sazak claimed his family spent around £7,200 in vets' bills to treat the 'serious' fracture, with his wife claiming their traumatised dog even needed 'depression medication' to cope with not being able to run around while he healed. The banker went on to sue Four Paws to recoup this sum and the training fee, with a judge awarding him a total of £10,583 - including interest - after no-one representing the company attended to defend the claim. Four Paws Walking and Training Ltd is the brainchild of former advertising guru Paul Ives, who says online that he founded it after being inspired by his love of canines 'to help dogs and owners form an unbreakable bond'.

Family dog Ruby immediately snatched the treat and gobbled it down 'within a second'.

It's the most expensive ice cream I've ever bought and will ever buy.'

When my wife was growing up in Scotland, her father's ­Alsatian, Major, used to escort her and her four older sisters to their primary school every morning, unaccompanied by an adult. At a word of command in the afternoon, he would trot off on his own to the school and wait at the gates to escort the five of them home. I often think of Major, that model of intelligence, loyalty and obedience, when I try to persuade our own dog, Minnie, to obey the simplest instruction, such as 'sit', 'heel' or 'stop begging those poor picnickers for a morsel of sausage roll'. I then marvel anew at the thought that she belongs to the same species (though not the same breed) as the late Major.

Several celebrity dogs were ready for their closeup this week in their cover shoots taken in honor of summertime.

If you find yourself constantly shouting after Fido as he refuses to heel and heads for the horizon, or are too embarrassed to admit Rover's real age when people in the park chuckle over your 'excitable puppy', you might have wondered why your pup just can't seem to behave. But had you considered that your dog might have ADHD? For the latest scientific research suggests that, just like humans, our canine friends could be prone to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

On walks with his owner, Shauneen Fowler, 42, Buddy would sniff out tennis balls that had been hit out of the courts and into bushes and claim them as his own. Shauneen, from Rochester, Kent, said her nine-year-old long-haired Jack Russell has had a fascination with collecting them since he was neutered as a puppy.

ROBERT HARDMAN: His tie said it all. It has been a favourite since he became King, appearing on away days, at Palace receptions and even a trip to church. Featuring a blue dinosaur pattern on a pink silk background, it is a cheeky play on his official 'Charles III Rex' cypher. Staff know that when 'C-Rex' is wearing his 'T-Rex' tie, he probably has a spring in his step. And so it was as the King came to the Macmillan Cancer Centre at London 's University College Hospital to mark his cautious return to regular public duties for the first time since his own diagnosis in February.

An 11-year-old cancer patient said today it was 'very exciting' meeting the King and Queen after they gave him three books and a Buckingham Palace chocolate coin. Ellis Edwards was among those gathered at the University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre in London as Charles and Camilla visited this morning. The boy from Southampton, who is receiving radiotherapy at the hospital, greeted the King and Queen with his mother Carly Edwards and gave them flowers. Ellis was given Swallows And Amazons by Arthur Ransome, The Man Who Planted Trees by Jean Giono and My Family And Other Animals by Gerald Durrell. He later said: 'I was telling her (Camilla) about my treatment and my trip to Leicester Square, going to Hamleys and the cinemas. It was very exciting meeting them.' Ms Edwards added: 'It's a really nice distraction this. I'm really proud of him, he's really brave and a superstar so it's great he can do something nice. He deserves it.' Ellis and another girl, six-year-old Della Thomas, presented Charles and Camilla with posies as they left the hospital around noon after meeting cancer patients. The royals gave Della of a large stuffed toy Jack Russell dog, based on the Queen's own pet Beth, and some Beefeater stationery - as well as a large chocolate coin.

Queen Camilla's beloved rescue dogs Beth and Bluebell (left) are set to make their Chelsea Flower Show this year in the form of willow sculptures. The Queen, 76, adopted Beth from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, in South London, in 2011 and fellow Jack Russell terrier Bluebell joined the family the following year. The willow creations were designed by weaver Emma Stothard, who previously created one of King Charles' beloved dog Tigga following her death in 2002. The sculptures will be on display in the Highgrove shop at Chelsea Flower Show, which opens on 21st May. Visitors will be able to peruse Highgrove products, including honey collected from bees on the estate and apple juice made from orchard produce. Top right: the willow sculpture set to go on display.

After her friend's dog deleted the manuscript from her computer, Dame Jaqueline Wilson revealed how she almost lost it. The author had written The Magic Faraway Tree: A Christmas Tale, a reworking of the Enid Blyton stories, but she would not be able to hand over the 300-page book to her publisher. The 78-year-old said she was looking after her friend's pug and Jack Russell when one of the dogs managed to press the 'delete' button and the other hit the 'delete all' key, recalling the Oxford Literary Festival. Despite desperately trying to locate the paper with her partner Trish Beswick, the writer had no luck and was stuck in a disaster. However, IT specialist Gary Freemantle managed to recover the manuscript, and the book was published in October. Wilson's saviour was lauded in the front of the book for his achievements, with Wilson saying: 'To Gary Freemantle, the world's best technical wizard, with many thanks.'

After getting her head stuck in a metal garbage lid, a tiny six-month-old Jack Russell puppy was left stinking. Amari, a woman from Chopwell, Gateshead, had the biggest shock of her short life and had to be admitted while firefighters freed her from the metal lid. The lid had emerged from an incinerator bin that had flown across her garden in windy weather, according to owner Lesley Clark. Her dog had then been referred to investigate but she ended up trapped in the lid's tiny central hole, which could not be handled by either Ms Clark or a local team of vets. Although being cut out of the lid by County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service, Amari's owner called the ordeal "traumatic."
