Best Man Duties For 'Snoop Dog'

A dog has provided best man duties at the wedding of his owners.

Snoop, an 11-year-old lurcher, was part of Sue and Michael Hopkins' ceremony.

He wore a purple and lilac scarf on the big day, the same colour as the flowers and groom's tie, and kept the rings in a bag round his neck.

The Swansea couple, who have been together for 14 years, even plan to take their beloved pet on honeymoon with them next month.

Mrs Hopkins, 49, got snoop from Llys Nini RSPCA animal centre in 2001.

"He was badly treated. We have come a long way with him, " she told the BBC. "He's quite placid now. He is an old boy now but he is still quite anxious if the doorbell goes.

"He has still got that bit of fire in him. He's my rock. He brought me through a lot. I don't think I would have come through a lot of things without him.

"We always thought we would have Snoop with us. But we thought we were going to lose him at Christmas."

Snoop was recently treated for a blood clot and had an eye operation the week before the couple's wedding.

Mrs Hopkins told the broadcaster: "Because we have come so far and done so much, we wanted him to be part of the day as well."

Snoop provided wedding entertainment by barking to announced the end of the service.

"Everybody laughed because he did a massive yawn and then started barking."
