Amy Huberman has said she is "absolutely gutted" after the sudden death of her dog Phoebe Mary.

Alongside a picture, Huberman wrote: "Absolutely gutted to say goodbye to our little pal after a sudden illness. The best, most spirited, full of chaos, full of fun, furry member of our crew.

“Phoebe Mary, my fav ever story of you was when you ran down into the basement of a lovely hotel and dive bombed right into the spa pool. Thank you for being the best companion, the biggest thief of socks, the most faithful resident of all dens made, the joiner inner of all craic going on, thank you for destroying the garden, then jumping up on everyone when you were done. Wouldn’t change any of it.

“And thank you for being the best listener to all of the chats, always. The best girl. Sleep well our lil pal My youngest said he hopes she gets to meet Santa now. And I hope so too.”

She also shared a poem called Little Dog’s Rhapsody in the Night, adding: “This Mary Oliver poem is so beautiful and says it all. What did we do to deserve dogs xx”
