Kay Burley has stepped up her dog-loving credentials by paying tribute to the Belgian Shepherd killed in the Saint Denis raids in Paris on Wednesday morning.
The Sky News anchor tweeted the trending hashtag #JeSuisChien after the French authorities announced the loss of seven-year-old Diesel in a blast caused by a female suicide bomber blowing herself up in the early hours.
Burley had been roundly mocked on social media earlier this week after posting a picture of a sombre-looking Labrador in the wake of the Paris attacks and remarking he had “sadness in his eyes.”
"Hilariously inappropriate... beyond parody," was one reaction, while others piled in with pictures of their own animals, supposedly reacting to the news.
But despite the ribbing, Burley showed herself to be a good sport as well as a diehard dog lover by tweeting in honour of Diesel.
