Vet Marc Abraham made a dogs dinner of his latest charitable venture — a three-course gourmet steak dinner, that is.

Mr Abraham, who frequently gives animal advice on TV, held a canine Valentine’s Day event for dog owners and their furry friends, raising money for a rescue-dog charity. Puppy patrons at Brighton’s The Coal Shed restaurant included Buster the puggle (right), who ate venison liver treats, steak and ice cream.

All in all, a howling success.
