How old is Charlie? He’s six years old.
How did you meet? My husband Liam and I met Charlie in Manchester. He’s a Mancunian, the son of a brown Labrador and brown Miniature Poodle, and the runt of a litter of 5. Nobody wished to undertake poor Charlie as he was a black canine. And you’d be shocked how little love black dogs get as a result of old-fashioned superstitions and the loopy notion that black dogs don’t {photograph} properly.

Six years after that fateful first assembly, Charlie has 10,000+ followers on social media and his personal byline in a nationwide journey journal, House of Coco. So, it’s clear that black dogs do, in actual fact, {photograph} very, very properly.
Love at first sight? When we met Charlie was actually shy and wasn’t in any respect positive about us. But he fell asleep in my arms on the automobile trip home and imprinted on me instantly. Neither of us are pleased except we’re bodily involved 24 hours a day seven days per week.
He is my little shadow and my true soul mate. We go in all places collectively: from luxurious London staycations, weekend getaways within the Cotswolds to idyllic seaside getaways from Norfolk to Devon, and even citadel breaks in Scotland. Charlie might be one of the crucial well-travelled and well-fed dogs and he’s definitely loving life.

Quirky habits? Charlie might be additionally the friendliest, happiest canine there may be. There isn’t an anxious or aggressive bone in his physique. He simply loves everybody, even the vet.
He loves driving on trains and at any time when he’s in a single, he has to sit down in his personal seat and likes to look at the world go by. Liam and I at all times make bets on what number of buddies he could make in brief practice journeys as he’ll wait for somebody to offer him eye contact earlier than cuddling as much as them for consideration.
At 26kg, Charlie isn’t precisely lap canine dimension. But regardless of how small the house, he at all times finds a option to cuddle up between me and Liam on the sofa, and in mattress. So a lot in order that he’ll actually be hanging off the aspect of the couch and wouldn’t care so long as it means that he’s beside you.
He additionally has a weird concern of feathers, loves going swimming in any physique of water (folks assume he wants rescuing however that’s simply him refusing to get out of the water), and enjoys taking home complete tree branches and unwittingly ramming them into shins, particularly mine.

He additionally likes to indicate his face at any time when he is aware of that his mum is on an essential Zoom name.
Funniest and/or nicest second? Charlie loves picnics and has a little bit of a mischievous aspect. We go on 5km runs almost each day in our native park and Charlie likes to run in and assist himself to folks’s picnics. Once he disrupted a pair’s romantic wicker basket unfold. When I lastly caught as much as him the person stated, “Is he allowed sausage rolls?”.
“Of course,” I replied, “He loves them”, pondering how good it was of the person to supply Charlie a few of his meals.
Then, to my horror, he added: “Well that’s good. He just about ate all of ours.” Yikes!
Favourite trick? And deal with? Favourite trick? Paw. It’s not likely a trick, but it surely’s what he does at any time when he needs your consideration. He paws folks to get pats; he paws folks to get treats, and he paws folks to get love. Really, he’s taught us all of the methods not vice versa.
He doesn’t have a favorite deal with, however there’s nothing on the planet he loves greater than a tennis ball. He can play fetch for hours and hours and hours and by no means will get bored. He’s received tennis balls stashed everywhere in the home and yard, so he at all times has a backup at any time when I confiscate one.
Social media account? Follow @teamcocopup for all of his wild adventures. Charlie is an official doggy journey ‘rePAWter’ and critiques among the finest pet-friendly eating places and lodges everywhere in the UK. He’s skilled doggy afternoon teas, Michelin-level doggy dinners and even participated in a (chaotic) doggy vogue present.
If Charlie might speak what could be his/her first phrases? That’s simple: Ball.
Favourite airport/airline? Charlie is a little bit too massive to journey by air as he must go within the maintain. However, we did journey to Glenapp Castle in Scotland in one of many first-class cabins on the Caledonian Sleeper, which affords bunk beds, white desk fabric eating and in addition your individual bathroom. Charlie liked it.
Anything else we should always know? If you ever see Charlie on the road give him a smile and a scratch; he will definitely love you for it.
