It's more than three years since Holly the Beagle gave birth to her only litter, but she has managed to convince her owner to continue feeding her pregnancy craving.
Lynn Cummins from Co Down, says what was once a maternity treat for Holly has now turned into a regular Friday session and surprise, surprise, only the very best of roast chicken will do.
Lynn posted a picture of Holly, five, in her Dromara home eyeing this week's treat, sparking laughter from friends who said the little Beagle appeared to be tapping her foot impatiently as she waited for the roast to cool down.

Lynn said: "Roast chicken was Holly's pregnancy craving. I used to feed it to her when she was pregnant more than three years ago, and now it's turned into her Roast Chicken Fridays treat.
"Well she is a fabulous girl after all and she continues to be a brilliant mum to Coco and Daisy. She has six puppies in her only litter and we kept Daisy and Coco and the other four live nearby with friends so we are one big beagle family, they all come to me for holidays too."
