Dogs Trust has offered to help get their four-legged friend fostered for the duration of the crisis.

The charity’s heard from more than 700 people looking to mind a dog while they work from home.

Boss Becky Bristow told us it seemed like an obvious solution;

“We’re watching all these front line workers going into work and then we’re getting phone calls from them, they’re exhausted and want to know how they can care for their dogs

“They’re starting to get worried: what if they get sick or what if they’re just too tired to actually interact with a dog or walk the dog properly

“People want to support in whatever way they can, so we thought why not join the two up

“We have the ability to do it, we’re used to dealing with diseases with dogs, our staff are well-trained in taking precautions that are appropriate

“So we could make sure that front line worker’s dog is minded and cared for in a family environment

“So they won’t have to worry about that during this time

“It’ll be a variety of our current fosters and some of our new ones

“It’s our normal matchmaking service but it’s just for a temporary period of time
