- Mags Burns, a 65-year-old from Sunderland, spends £100 monthly on "human food" for her two golden retrievers, Luca and Ryder, feeding them the same meals she eats.
- Her decision to feed her dogs a human-grade diet stemmed from her own stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis in 2011, which prompted her to adopt a healthier lifestyle for herself and her pets.
- The dogs' diet includes varied meals such as scrambled eggs on toast, porridge, fish, chicken, fruits, and vegetables, with special treats like steak on their birthdays.
- Mags attributes her dogs' excellent health and fitness, including her 10-year-old Luca only requiring routine vet visits, to their diet and regular exercise.
- While her son jokes she treats the dogs better than him, Mags emphasises that she prioritises her pets' well-being, acknowledging that her approach may not be feasible for everyone.
