A street dog that took a particular liking to a British backpacker in Peru - following her relentlessly - has arrived at his new home in the UK after months of vaccines, tests and quarantine.
Mirelle Radley, 30, felt like she was "adopted" by the stray in a village in the Sacred Valley of the Incas while travelling in April.
When it became clear he was not being cared for, she named him Paddington and jumped through hoops to ensure he could safely be brought home with her.
They arrived back at her home in Cambridge on Thursday and she said Paddington was "loving life" in the UK.

Beautiful dog and wonderful story. So glad Paddington has a home at last.
When I was about 19, I had a dog that looked just like Paddington. Her name was Mickey. She was a great dog. I had not thought of her for some time, as that was over 50 years ago.
I fed a street dog in Crete. That poor dog followed me around all week and I had to leave him.
I wonder how her husband and children felt about her gallivanting around the globe like that.
Oh, right...
Regards,
If she says the dog is from “Darkest Peru,” she’ll be arrested for hate speech.
I know, he’s such a cute dog.
