Russell was said to have spent £300 (N170, 887) on paw and leg X-rays, consultations and painkillers only to discover that nothing was wrong with the 9-year-old pet.

In fact, Billy The Lurcher was seen playing in the garden when they returned home as though nothing happened.

Russell who broke his ankle after a fall in June said:

"Billy is my soulmate. He has always got his eyes on me and he is very soppy.
“When I took him out on the scooter, that was it. He never limped. He never limped again in his life.
“We realised he was limping out of sympathy. He was copying me because I was hobbling along.”
