Apologies to David (Medlycott) for using his title but I thought a piece in yesterday's Times added to his story.

I have just been informed by his owners that Luka has had to be put to sleep. He was found to be suffering from an inoperable cancer and peritonitis so his vet recommended that he be put down.

He was a lovely dog and I am sure he will be remembered by everyone who met him at the Care Homes.

It was a privilege for me to write about him.
