Paris Attacks: Kay Burley Pays Tribute To Police Dog Killed In Saint Denis Raids #JeSuisChien

Kay Burley's #JeSuisChien Tweet May Just Have Redeemed Her After #DogGate
|

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.

"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.
