The responsibilities that come with owning a dog didn't seem to fit with his work-hard, play-hard lifestyle. 'When we lived in London, I had a fun and sociable but intense job at a digital advertising agency,' explains Matt, 41. 'We worked long hours and often went out together after work to blow off some steam. I had real FOMO, and could always be persuaded to just have one more!' As a result, the dog idea was temporarily shelved – but when the couple relocated to a house with a garden in Margate, the prospect of getting a four-legged friend was back on the agenda. Matt and Stan are now inseparable 'I didn't have any pets growing up, so I didn't fully understand the appeal if I'm being truthful, but Rachel was determined,' says Matt. And so, in 2016, the couple got a nine-week-old black-and-white miniature schnauzer whom they called Stanley. 'He was so cute, I fell instantly in love,' Matt recalls. 'Even as a puppy, he had these big white eyebrows and a beard – he's such a character.' "I can't believe I ever thought twice about getting a dog – although Stan is one in a million!' - Matt And having Stanley around soon brought about a change in Matt's habits: instead of heading out after work, he couldn't wait to get home for a cuddle and a play with his new best pal. 'I'd been told that the first few months of having a puppy can be quite intense, but I really enjoyed them,' he says. 'It was such fun teaching Stan how to sit, lie down, shake a paw and so on. I soon realised that the more effort I was willing to put in, the more I was rewarded with his love and loyalty.'
