The saying, “Every dog has its day” is true if the life of these four pampered canines is anythig to go by.
Nightclub magnate Peter Stringfellow has chartered a private plane to transport his two chihuahuas Cindy and Ollie and two Yorkshire terriers Cindy and Ollie from his holday home in Spain to Italy.
Stringfellow could not join them on the flight, telling The Times he has “a business to run”. He will follow next month on a budget airline. “I will be going either easyJet or bloody Ryanair, for God's sake,” he said.
The pooches were attended by a stewardess, flown by two pilots and will be taken care of on arrival by Stringfellow's sister-in-law.
“The dogs have spent their lives in Majorca and wouldn’t like English weather. They live better than I do. They were all born in Spain, but speak very good English,” Stringfellow jokes.
Seventy-six-year-old Stringfellow owns the eponymous club in Covent Garden and Angels in Soho and reportedly pays himself a salary of £1 million annually from the revenues of his clubs. He has two adult children from earlier marriages and two infant children from his latest marriage to his third wife Bella, a former ballerina 41 years his junior.
The tycoon famously invited former PM Margaret Thatcher to tour Stringfellows in 2005 and donated the use of the club for her to hold a fundraiser.
