Sheridan Smith's devastating dog tragedy and apology for claiming fiancé's mum was to blame

mirror.co.uk:

Sheridan Smith is a self-confessed "crazy dog lady". The much-loved Two Pints of Lager actress owns a staggering six pet pooches - two Great Danes, Trevor and Dave, two Boston terriers, Ronnie and Reggie, and two Chihuahuas, Bernard and Dumbo.

Her passion for canines stems back to her childhood, where she longed for a dog but her family could not afford one. If they found a stray in the area and no one claimed them then they would end up keeping them, which led a young Sheridan to try and trick her mum by taking the collar off a neighbour's pet.

The dog fanatic, who is also mum to eight- month-old Billy, has now landed her dream job hosting Pooch Perfect, a competition to find the nation's best professional dog groomer.
