A show-stealing chihuahua who upstaged 40 pooches to become a pageant queen may have seen her last runway after breaking her leg hopping off a six inch step – forcing her distraught owners to raise the £2,700 needed to fix it.
Named Twiggy like the famous model, the tiny dog, who is so pampered by part-time carer Angela Elvin, 51, and her design engineer husband Daren Elvin, 54, that she has a wardrobe of outfits and her own bedroom, sustained the injury that could end her modelling career two weeks ago.
Angela, who lives with Daren and two of their children, Saffy, 18, and Violet, 15, in Ironbridge, Shropshire, said: “She is such a trooper, you wouldn’t believe she had broken her leg. She must be in pain, but she doesn’t show it.
