Nicola Adam's dog Dexter 'pawed' TV screen as mistress 'punched way to historic gold

London -  As Nicola Adams became the first woman boxer to win an Olympic gold medal, her dog, Dexter, excitedly watched the action 200 miles away in Leeds, UK.

The 10-month-old Doberman saw the gold medal winning fight at the Leeds pet boarding center, where he is staying while Adams is competing in the London Olympics 2012.

Dexter was extremely excitable for the first three rounds, but in the fourth round he stopped and watched his mistress on his kennel TV, pawing at the glass separating him from the screen.

"We think it is quite unusual. But he can certainly hear Nicola and we think he is referencing that Nicola is on TV," The Telegraph quoted James Cundy, a staff, as saying.

However, Cundy said Dexter, was a good dog and does not spend his days watching the box.

"Absolutely not. That's the last thing that he's got to do. He likes to be out and about, getting exercise and generally enjoying himself. He's a fabulous dog, very energetic," Cundy added.
