And finally… diamonds are a dog’s best friend

A luxury retailer has launched a new 24 karat gold dog jacket encrusted with the buyer’s choice of black Swarovski crystals or black diamonds - the “world’s most expensive dog jacket”.
The item, produced by Doggy Armour in partnership with VeryFirstTo.com, retails between £750 (for the cheapest version) to £1 million.
The cost includes a fitting session at a suitable UK destination.
The 24k gold jacket is “up to 15 times stronger than steel and 8 times stronger than Kevlar, so not only bite resistant but slash resistant too”.
Marcel Knobil, founder of VeryFirstTo and Superbrands, said: “Thanks to Doggy Armour your precious pooch will both be well protected and resplendent in glittering gold. You’ll never see a more golden Labrador, dashing Dachshund, cavalier King Charles Spaniel, or pompous Pomeranian.”
