Vikki Jose, 26 loves nothing more than lavishing gifts on her loved ones at Christmas time. But she doesn't splash the cash on her family or boyfriend Jack Cassidy, 26. She prefers to spoil her furry babies - four -year- old Labrador Harvey and two-year-old Bichon Frise, Lola. During the festive season, Vikki showers the adorable pair with over £1,250 worth of presents. The pampered pooches even have their own Christmas list for Santa - as well as personalised stockings and advent calendars with doggy treats inside. The barking-mad owner from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne has spent over £10,000 on her beloved dogs over the last four years.
