The rather adorable Alf lives in Edmund Road, Chafford Hundred and is owned by John and Kerry Huckstepp.

The photo, however, was sent in by their friend Cayleigh Kirk who was babysitting the pooch while the couple were on holiday. She described Alf as a “playful boy who likes lots of attention and will steal your socks if you don’t keep an eye on them!”
