During an interview with Hello magazine, Britain’s Got Talent winner Ashleigh Butler has revealed that her talented canine Pudsey has his very own minders amid fears he could be dognapped.

Ashleigh explained, “We’ve had to up security. There’s a chance he could be dognapped. We make sure he’s never home alone.”

Ashleigh and Pudsey are in the States at the moment, and have become huge stars over the pond, with a massive amount of interest in Pudsey from fans and celebs, not to mention movie makers who’re keen to have him star in a film.

And it seems Ashleigh’s quite happy to see Pudsey kept busy, as is he.

She said, “He’s one of those dogs that wants to be busy…

“If we stopped performing or I put him into retirement he’d hate me and get depressed.

“He loves showing off. The bigger the crowd, the better he performs. He’s a natural born show off.”

And finally, while remembering her and Pudsey’s all important performance on the night of the BGT final, Ashleigh said, “I couldn’t believe the BGT final…

“It was the first routine in his life that he did perfectly. I think he knew that he had to up his game.

“I was amazed at how well he did, especially with all the pressure.”

Here’s a reminder of that amazing performance…
