Meet Rupert the whippet - a show-off pooch who loves to model and pose for the camera including relaxing with a Coke or wearing glasses to read books.

Rupert has a knack for striking a fetching pose and began starring in the snaps at 10-months-old, when his owner noticed him standing with his front legs rested on the lawnmower.

Now the two-and-a-half year old has become a dab hand at creating lifelike scenes and has featured as a doctor, tennis player and even a choir boy.

Owner Janet Burton, 56, who has owned whippets for the past 15 years, began to dream up hilarious scenarios and fetching outfits to match - with Rupert all too happy to play along.
