The owner of one of Britain's best-known dogs is backing calls to allow small pets to travel in the cabin of commercial flights entering the UK.
Holly Middleton has travelled all over the world with Peggy the pugese, which was crowned the country's ugliest dog before starring in the 2024 Marvel superhero film, Deadpool & Wolverine.
While a number of airlines allow pets in the cabin on planes leaving the UK, they are prohibited from doing so on commercial flights coming into the country. Under government regulations, pets must instead travel as cargo in a dedicated area of the hold.
Middleton, who lives near Beverley, East Yorkshire, said: "Some people's pets are their babies and they want to be able to travel and take them with them when they go on holiday.
"Dogs are already travelling with their owners safely and responsibly all over the world. For people in the UK it's more restrictive."
