Captioning the pictures, he said: "So sad, we've said Goodbye to Isla, our oldest & smallest cairn at 13yrs. She was sweet natured, kind, tough, fast as lightning, and a patient gentle Mum.

Posting the news on his Farm On The Hill account, Matt then commented below using his personal Instagram account, adding: "The reason we love dogs so much is the only time they break our hearts is when they leave us."
