‘Samson is a very sociable and loving dog,’ said Lea. ‘He saw a cat for the first time in Paris last year and he got so excited so I got him a cat of his own.
‘He has took on a fatherly figure. Samson grooms her after dinner and they sleep together. It is amazing to watch.’

‘People can’t believe it when they see how close they are,’ explained Lea. ‘Dogs and cats are supposed to be enemies but that couldn’t be any further from the truth with this pair.
‘We have another dog called Calvin, 4, who is a Labrador but he isn’t fazed. Cleo and Samson just clicked – she may be small and weigh three pounds but she definitely shows them who is boss.’
