The brother of the Princess of Wales, James Middleton, appeared on ITV's This Morning on Wednesday, February 8, to discuss the incredible impact pets - and dogs in particular - can have on a person's life, especially when it comes to mental health.
The 35-year-old - who has been open about his battle with clinical depression - sat on the sofa alongside Matthew Robinson from the charity Pets as Therapy, where James is a volunteer, and explained how during some of his most challenging times, his dog Ella, who recently passed away, would know there was something up and would distract him to get him out of his depressive states.
Ella passed away in January and, honouring her, James wrote a heartfelt post detailing how she had been at his side for 15 years "from my darkest days to my happiest".
