Trainer’s dog features in M&S’ Christmas ad

A dog owned by Gill Raddings, boss of Stuntdogs and Animals that supplies trained animals to the film, TV and advertising industry, is the star of this year’s M&S Christmas food ad.

Raddings rescued Wylie, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Shiatsu mix, from Battersea Dogs Home six years ago.

Wylie features in the M&S advert, chasing toy Duckie (Jennifer Saunders) once Fairy (Dawn French) brings it to life.

Stuntdogs and Animals has been supplying trained animals to the film, TV and advertising industry for about 30 years.
