Molly says Lexie changed her life (Collect/PA Real Life). *** Teenager who was hospitalised for nine months with

By Harriet Bullough, PA Real Life
A teenager who was hospitalised for nine months because of cripp ling depression and a
dangerous eating disorder is training to be a doctor - thanks to her one-year-old sausage
dog.
Just 17 months since she left inpatient care, Molly Anderton, 19, is starting a degree in
medicine at Edge Hill University in Ormskirk, Lancashire - claiming she passed the gruelling
online interviews as she had her pet pooch, Lexie, perched on her lap.
Molly, who lives with her loss adjustor mum, Leslie Andrew, 52, a single parent, in
Warrington, Cheshire, said: Lexie gave me the confidence to pursue medicine.
If it wasnt for her, I dont think I would have been able to. She was at every interview, as
they were online because of Covid, so she was hiding on my lap, keeping me calm.
Battling severe depression since she was 13 - exacerbated by the death of her beloved gran,
Susie, 86, soon after she started secondary school - by May 2019, Molly was so poorly she
was hospitalised.
Recognising that her depression was cumulative, she said: "It wasnt caused by just one
event.
It was tough when I moved to secondary school. I struggled to make friends and I didnt
know anyone, so I felt really lonely.
Then my grandma passed away and it was just a really hard time. Dealing with it all alone, I
didnt have any friends to turn to.
Acutely shy, as her feelings became more unmanageable, Molly tried to take back control
through compulsive behaviour - restricting her food and exercising obsessively.
But, by February 2019, she admits she had become a danger to herself and was admitted to
Ellern Mede Ridgeway, a north London inpatient centre specialising in the treatment of
eating disorders.

Bob in his miniature kitchen (Collect/PA Real Life). *** Mum who turns family hamster into a "rodent supermodel" hopes his
amazing photoshoots will feature on the cover of National Geographic
one day
By Joe Pagnelli and Danielle Desouza
A mum-of-two who has become "obsessed" with her photogenic pet hamster hopes her
ravishing rodent who loves to pose up for adorable photoshoots will one day feature on the
cover of National Geographic.
Keti Kraja, 37, welcomed Bob the eight-month-old hamster into her home in Ravenna, Italy,
after her children Gabriel, 10, and Joy Motta, 12, begged her for a pocket-sized friend - and
they quickly realised their camera friendly pet could be a mini supermodel.
The hunky hamster is dedicated to his craft and spends up to an hour a day posing up for
Keti, who owns a swimwear company, and has already filled her camera roll with more than
2,000 snaps of him bowling, painting and even enjoying a boozy Christmas.
Explaining how Bob started modelling, Keti said: "When I would go around the house, and
when I saw my kids' toys and they were so small like the Barbie's house, little cars and Legos
and Id take them and just place Bob to pose in there.
"He looked at me with just confusion at first but now he runs to the sets I prepare and Ill
just snap away.
"The more photos I took, the more I wanted to take them."
Luckily, Bob soon got the picture - and within about a month Keti could tell he felt confident
and loved participating in the shoots, as she could see he felt safe to stay in place.
Keti said: "Hes so still when he is modelling and he looks at me. He loves posing. Hes got
these two big eyes - hes stunning and its so funny.
"Now Im always out shopping for Bob for the photoshoots, buying him props and toys."
In July 2021, Keti was looking to buy a hamster as a gift for her childr en after they had
pestered her for years to have a pet.
She eventually found Bob at a pet shop in Ravenna, where he was on sale for j *

Joy and Gabriel Motta with Bob (Collect/PA Real Life). *** Mum who turns family hamster into a "rodent supermodel" hopes his
amazing photoshoots will feature on the cover of National Geographic
one day
By Joe Pagnelli and Danielle Desouza
A mum-of-two who has become "obsessed" with her photogenic pet hamster hopes her
ravishing rodent who loves to pose up for adorable photoshoots will one day feature on the
cover of National Geographic.
Keti Kraja, 37, welcomed Bob the eight-month-old hamster into her home in Ravenna, Italy,
after her children Gabriel, 10, and Joy Motta, 12, begged her for a pocket-sized friend - and
they quickly realised their camera friendly pet could be a mini supermodel.
The hunky hamster is dedicated to his craft and spends up to an hour a day posing up for
Keti, who owns a swimwear company, and has already filled her camera roll with more than
2,000 snaps of him bowling, painting and even enjoying a boozy Christmas.
Explaining how Bob started modelling, Keti said: "When I would go around the house, and
when I saw my kids' toys and they were so small like the Barbie's house, little cars and Legos
and Id take them and just place Bob to pose in there.
"He looked at me with just confusion at first but now he runs to the sets I prepare and Ill
just snap away.
"The more photos I took, the more I wanted to take them."
Luckily, Bob soon got the picture - and within about a month Keti could tell he felt confident
and loved participating in the shoots, as she could see he felt safe to stay in place.
Keti said: "Hes so still when he is modelling and he looks at me. He loves posing. Hes got
these two big eyes - hes stunning and its so funny.
"Now Im always out shopping for Bob for the photoshoots, buying him props and toys."
In July 2021, Keti was looking to buy a hamster as a gift for her childr en after they had
pestered her for years to have a pet.

Megan swipes left on men if they admit they are not dog lovers. (Collect/PA Real Life) *** Bartender who is so potty about pooches she lets her dogs
choose her dates says it works paw-fectly
By Rikki Loftus, PA Real Life
A bartender who is so potty about her pooches that she lets them pick her boyfriends says
letting her dogs decide who she dates has been a great success.
While her pals think she is barking mad for seeking relationship guidance from Ben and Ash her father-and-son working cocker spaniels - Megan Hill, 24, says it works paw-fectly.
Happily dating a fellow dog lover for the past five weeks, Megan, of Rotherham, South
Yorkshire, said: "Its still early days, but last week I let him meet the dogs for the first time.
It was a make-or-break test for me - whether the dogs would like him. Luckily they loved
him."
Just 12 when she got Ben, then a puppy, he was her first dog and they have been inseparable
ever since.
Then, when he was bred with another working cocker in 2013, she kept his pup. Ash, who
she is equally devoted to.
So, when she decided to dip her toe into the world of online dating in February to find a
human companion, it seemed perfectly logical to Megan that if her dogs liked him, their
recommendation would be good enough.
Keen to make sure she only swipes right on "dog people" and not on "cat people," she also
shares her tips for weeding out canine friendly companions on online dating apps.
She said: "I always make sure Ben and Ash are in my photos and on my profile, and bring
them up within the first few messages. I also scroll through every picture of my potential
date, looking for any sign that hes an animal lover."
But, even with her eagle eye for the right dog loving beau, she still struggles to find men who
are as potty about pooches as she is.
She said: "Id much rather curl up on the sofa and watch Lady and the Tramp with Ben and
Ash than go out on a date.

""Our hotel is very bespoke, with no humans allowed outside the lobby unless they are

"The dogs have a toy room, a snug, a lounge, a library for older dogs to keep away from
puppies full of energy, and a biscuit bakery with an Aga in the kitchen, a dog cinema and
we've just opened our first dog spa.
"Dogs generally don't like being alone in their room like human h otel guests, so they
sleep in the 18 rooms in the farmhouse, usually sharing rooms.
"They can sleep by a warm Aga or on a bed.
"Most clients now have our VIP package, and many of them say their dog likes sleeping
with a human in a bed, so one of our team will sleep with them on the bed. Some dogs
can suffer separation anxiety otherwise."
But with treats like trips to the beach and beauty treatments on offer, Rebecca's guests
