The Woman Who Spends £20,000 A Year On Her Dog

A dog owner has revealed that she's splashed out £4,000 on custom-made outfits and toys as well as jewellery and accessories for her precious pooch this Christmas.

Alisa Thorne, from Pontypridd in Wales, appeared on ITV's This Morning today and told presenters Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary how she has spared no expense on her one-and-a-half year old Chinese Crested Powder Puff who is named Fabio.

She has even created a grotto for him in her garden - including a sleigh complete with reindeer and a tree covered in dog baubles.

Speaking of the hefty sum she's spent on Fabio, Alisa said: 'Well it wasn't until I was doing this show that I actually added it up and it came to £20,000 - that's over the course of the year. 'I've spent £4,000 on him for Christmas this year so it's £20,000 in total.'
