Royston, 42, has a theory as to why Luce decided to turn against him. He said:

“I advertised to try to rehome her because she does not get on with my other dog. She must have overheard me because she’s normally friendly and never really chewed on anything before. I came home and saw her covered in white stuff and I thought she had got a bird and it was feathers – but it was the fibreglass from the car.”

Luce has now found a new owner and Royston’s car is insured against the damage.
