Declan Donnelly's beloved pooch is recovering well after being attacked by a fox.
Dec, 44, took his dachshund Rocky to see Noel Fitzpatrick, who stars on TV show The Supervet, after he got in a scrap with a fox.
In an update on Twitter, Dec wrote: "Another thank you to this guy Prof Noel and his amazing staff for looking after Rocky and getting him back on his feet after a run-in with a grumpy fox in our garden. Cheeky bugger! The care and attention is so reassuring and comforting. Thanks again everyone."
Responding to the tweet, Noel wrote: "An absolute pleasure guys."

Dec's post has since been flooded with well-wishes from animal-loving fans and praise for Noel and his team, with one writing: "Aww glad Rocky's better! What would we do without amazing people like this!"
A second commented: So glad Rocky is on the road to recovery. Well done Noel. Another successful rescue mission! Rocky, behave yourself and stay away from foxes!"
A third added: "So happy that Rocky is recovering and back on his small paws again. Noel and his team are so amazing, they care about the animals with so much love and compassion."
Dec has previously said his four-legged pal had provided him with 'moral support' when he filmed last year's Britain's Got Talent semi-finals, without his long-standing presenting partner Ant McPartlin.

He told fans: "Rocky has come to keep me company and show moral support as I'll be on my own tonight, although I'm getting the feeling he's not as excited about the start of the BGT semi-finals as I am."
It's a been a good week for Dec - and Ant - as the pair scooped the National Television Award's gong for Best Presenter on Tuesday, for the 19th year running. Impressive.
Hot off the back of their win, the duo revealed today that Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway will be back on screens next month, after a two-year hiatus.

A trailer for the new series was shared on social media today and shows the pair in a boardroom coming up with new ideas for the upcoming series before they burst into song.
An exact date hasn't been revealed just yet, but given that it's February tomorrow, it seems we won't have to wait too long.
