Dog and Francie's newfound happiness comes after a difficult few years for them in which they both lost their long-term spouses to cancer.

"Or they tell Francie 'That guy right there is loyal.' So we have trusted that - and everyone is happy for us.
"And you know there's always going to be haters, and I probably arrested half of them."
Francie added: "I think too that there's always going to be people who say we did this wrong or we did that wrong or we've moved on too quickly or too fast.
"But the truth is that both of us have spent three years walking alongside our spouses sick and we know that God brought us together and that's why we don't believe that it's too soon.
"And because we both have done our share of and asking why.
"Then for us to come together the way that we did and build this friendship because of what we've been through, that turned into a love story.
"We don't believe that it's too soon."
Dog previously told The Sun that while "there'll never be another Mrs Dog" referring to Beth,
