Always by the side of her owner, the new MP for Torbay, Steve Darling, guide dog Jennie has taken to life in the House of Commons swimmingly and is quickly attracting legions of fans.
Her account on X already has more than 18,000 followers and she is often recognised around parliament and on the tube.

She likes banking as much rest in as possible, so the chamber is a good place to lie down and relax."
