Pete Wicks’ fans have rushed to defend him after a social media user shared their concerns over his dog’s health.
It’s well known that Pete is a huge dog lover. He is a proud dog dad to Eric, a French Bulldog, and Rodney, a rescue Rottweiler that he adopted from Dogs Trust. Earlier this year, he expanded his family and got another pup, Rodney.
This week, Pete shared a slew of images to Instagram of moments from the past month – and plenty included Pete posing with his dogs.
But it was one photo that left a follower rather concerned, causing Pete’s fans to quickly defend the Strictly star.

Pete also included plenty of photos of him and his beloved dogs. He then captioned the post. “May was mostly dogs… Again.”
However, in the comments section, one of Pete’s followers shared their concerns about Pete’s dog, Eric.

Pete defended by fans
The worried social media user wrote: “Beautiful babies ones terribly overweight hopefully isn’t through over feeding, thank you for doing what you do for our precious fur babies.”
However, Pete’s fans quickly clapped back and explained: “He’s old and has medical needs that most likely restricts movement, not through over feeding.”
Pete – who liked that comment – also replied with the raising hands emoji.
Another follower wrote: “That’s Eric! He’s got health issues & is very old! Pete definitely looks after him!”
