BBC bosses are in the doghouse after banning Radio 2 presenters from bringing their pet pooches to work.
It comes after drivetime DJ Sara Cox, 48, had her naughty Maltese terrier Dolly join her during a broadcast — only to chew through a wire.

The incident prompted fretting execs to introduce the blanket ban, irking the likes of Michael Ball, 60, who prefers taking to the airwaves beside his treasured terriers.
Sara said: “There was an incident at Radio 2 — Dolly chewed a little wire.
“She wasn’t injured.
“It wasn’t a very expensive or important wire, but chewed it was.

“And like an idiot, I confessed to it.
“The repercussions were quite big.
“Dogs were completely banned from all studios at Radio 2 from then on.
“Everything changed because of a moment of madness from Dolly.”
Other dog-owning Radio 2 DJs include Scott Mills, Vernon Kay and Paul O’Grady, who also fronts ITV’s For the Love of Dogs.
But Sara joked of fighting the ban, telling the Oh My Dog podcast: “I want to start a campaign for ‘Free the Radio 2 One’ to let Dolly back in the building.”
