A stray dog from Ukraine is enjoying his new life in York after being brought home by photographer and aid worker, Edward Matthews.

Charlie was rescued from a war-torn area of Ukraine back in November 2022. On Tuesday evening Charlie made his television debut as he appeared on BBC Look North, where he got a little overexcited and had a wee in the BBC canteen.

Charlie was rescued at about 2 weeks old and Edward said: “When he was first found, he was pretty much skin and bones, there wasn’t really much to him.” Now he’s settled in his forever home and is on track to become York's newest local celebrity.
