Photos: Dog Chews Owner's Prized £80,000 Aston Martin

Royston Grimstead has been left distraught after finding out his dog Luce had eaten her way through the fibreglass wheel arch of his luxury motor.

Royston thinks his four-year-old border collie spaniel cross had heard him talking about potentially finding her a new home - and decided to give him a leaving gift. The 42-year-old said: "I came home and saw her covered in white stuff and I thought she had got a bird and it was feathers - but it was the fibreglass from the car. "She had chewed out a huge chunk. I just laughed. I mean, what else could I do? "I'm not a crier and she knew she had done something wrong because she had this guilty look on her face."

Royston from Chedzoy, Somerset, got Luce three years ago and said she had never snacked on any of his possessions before she chewed on his car last Wednesday. Luce does not get on with his other dog and he was considering re-homing her before the incident - which was the last straw. "She avoided me after she did it and she was gone the next day," he said.

"I didn't tell the new owners what she had done - I expect when they hear I'll find Luce back on my doorstep." Royston, who bought his beloved Aston Martin DB9 Volante 15 months ago, added: "She does not get on with my other dog. "She must have overheard me talking about re-homing her because she's normally friendly and never really chewed on anything before."

Thankfully Royston's car is insured against the £3,000 damage and is set to be repaired next week.
