Who really owns the After Life dog? All you need to know about German Shepherd Anti

Her real owner is Ash Foster, who lives in Bicester and the 34-year-old has had her since the day she was born.

She may be getting old now, but the dog remains completely dedicated to her acting career.

When she is not working, Anti enjoys cuddles on the sofa enjoying her cheese snacks.

Ash helped bring Anti into the world and, as is the case for Gervais's character Tony, the dog is an integral part of his life.

He calls his pet the "queen of the family" who is "almost worshipped", in an interview with the Daily Mail.
