Meet Charlie, the Shih Tzu, who will be brightening up the pages of tomorrow's Northern Echo as a canine England fan.
Charlie lives in Middlesbrough and his owners have had his hair dyed in "pet-triotic" colours in time for England's World Cup campaign.
Like the rest of us, he watched England's opening game full of expectation but went off to his bed when Italy scored their second goal.
But he'll be back in front of the telly for tomorrow night's crunch game against Uruguay. Charlie's feeling confident - in fact he's sure we've got Suarez and his team-mates licked.
I considered the headline Red, white and shih tzu but decided against it and we'll be going for "England til I dye" instead.
Come on England!
