Soap success for County Durham dog

Meet Emmerdale's new chunky hunk

Published 11th Mar 2016

A new four-legged star from the North East will grace our screens on Emmerdale.

Super Cooper, a one-eyed bull dog, has won the Galas 'Pet Star for a Day' competition.

Known as a diva around the dog house, Cooper has more than 5,000 likes on his Facebook page.

Owner, Jemma Teasdale from Consett, told us that he'll need to shed a few pounds before his big day in May. She said:

“We’ll get a VIP limo picking us up from the hotel to take us to the set of Emmerdale. He’s going to be treated like a proper superstar.”

“We’re not sure what he’ll do… He’s just in one episode so he could be in the vets with paddy or just wandering down the street.”
