HE made a splash at the Paris Olympics before Team GB diver Jack Laugher MBE headed to Dogs Trust Harefield to meet the team and some of the pets in their care.
Jack also competed at London 2012, Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020, where he earned gold, silver and bronze medals.
A huge dog lover, he has a golden retriever called Doug, named after the popular Disney short film.
On his visit to Harefield, Jack met a litter of five-week-old puppies named after pasta shapes.
They are preparing to be rehomed once they are old enough to leave their mother.
Not only did Jack have a cuddle with some of the puppies, he also met some of the dogs currently looking for a new home.
Reyban was one of them – a black and white Springer Spaniel cross who has recently been reserved by his new family.
He also met Zara the five-year-old Borzoi who is still patiently awaiting a home after spending six months in kennels.
Richard Moore, rehoming centre manager at Harefield, said: “He’s clearly a big dog lover and it was great to give him a sneak peak into some of the work we do here.”
