A woman who was raising her dog as a vegetarian was left speechless on live TV when her pet chose meat over vegetables.

Lucy Carrington decided to put Storm the Husky on a meat-free diet this summer when she started to go off her food.

She believed the animal wanted to be vegetarian, so purchased meat-free dog food and served up leftover vegetables.

However, during an appearance on This Morning, the dog headed straight for a bowl of meat – barely considering the carrots and peas just centimetres away.


Storm was given the option to decide between the bowls after vet Scott Miller, who was also on the show, said that the diet change was denying the dog choice.

Seconds later, Storm was wolfing down chunks of meat.

Ms Carrington, who is not a vegetarian herself, said: ‘Oh you little.. I didn’t swear. In fairness the weather has cooled down quite dramatically.

@thismorning that poor dog storm is loving the meat and the owner just feeds him a veggie diet but unfair on the dog I think — diane baker (@dianebaker01) August 30, 2018

Ha ha ha ha. Yes, Storm. Point proven. Brilliant. Meat tastes like murder and let's face it, murder tastes pretty damn good ?#ThisMorning — Steve Oscar (@StevesOscarBlog) August 30, 2018

Storm the 'vegetarian' Dog on @thismorning, the canine equivalent of Pam-lar from Gavin & Stacey, straight to the meat! — Gareth Davis (@GarethDavis2) August 30, 2018

‘During the summer months she just went off her food, strangely. I’m certainly not one of those, I’m not vegetarian I’m not a vegan, far from it, though I’ve reduced my meat consumption.’

She was later accused of ‘animal cruelty’ by dozens of viewers.

One said: ‘Animal cruelty, dogs are carnivores’.

Another added: ‘I am roaring at Storm the “vegetarian” dog eating all the meat’.

Lucy left the show stating she would now start feeding Storm meat again.

She said: ‘If this is what she wants then obviously I’m going to adapt accordingly.’
