A model has had her beloved dog cremated and stuffed into a replica teddy, after giving the pup a full funeral. Daley South, 30, held a ceremony with 25 mourners, eulogies, recitals and a releasing of butterflies at sunset, before having Diavol’s ashes made into a stuffed canine clone. Diavol, a three-year-old wolfdog, died in a tragic accident at the start of July. ‘There was no question about having the funeral,’ says Daley, from Texas. ‘You would have one for a child or friend, so why not for a dog? My husband and I decided to have fur-children instead of human children. Diavol really was like my baby.
