Toni & Bear ‘HE'S THE BEST PRESENT EVER!'

It’s not quite Christmas, but Toni Street and hubby Matt France’s three children – Juliette, eight, Mackenzie, five, and Lachlan, two – have already got their greatest gift, a curly-haired Cavoodle they’ve named Bear.

“We weren’t planning on getting a dog,” confesses the bubbly blonde, 37. “My husband was quite strict on the rule that we had to wait until Lachie was three or four, so we only had one newborn in the house. But the girls were desperate for pets, especially Juliette, who we call our little Bindi Irwin.

“She picks up all the creepy-crawlies and she’s obsessed with all sorts of animals, but she’s never had a pet and she was getting desperate, like, ‘Please can we just get a fish?’ We were going to get her a bunny, but then Matt decided we’d go the whole hog and get a dog!”
