PM visits Battersea Dogs Home

Battersea Dogs and Cats Home welcomed a visit from David Cameron today as he went to meet its 1000th volunteer.

But he failed to impress Bertie the terrier puppy, who wouldn't sit still for the cameras.

Elodie Harper was there:

David Cameron later tweeted: "The 1000th volunteer at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, James Moore, showing me Bertie the dog. They do a great job".
