Olivia Attwood has revealed she treated her two beloved adopted dogs to an alternative Christmas at The Corinthia Hotel as she shared a sweet clip on Instagram.
The Love Island star shared the post days after Kim and Khloe Kardashian revealed they had gifted their children ‘designer’ puppies.
Skims founder Kim, 45, introduced four dogs into her family this past week – and faced furious backlash by netizens over her decision to get her children a live animal as a present.
Her reality star sister Khloe, 41, also got a new Labrador puppy for her family during the holiday season – a pooch she obtained from a breeder.
Now, Olivia has shared how her two adopted pet pooches lives have dramatically changed from being left on the streets of Romania to enjoying the luxury 5-star hotel in London.Â
Olivia filmed her husband Bradley Dack walking their Rottwiler named Stitch and Carpathian/German Shepherd mix called Lola, who they adopted in 2021, into the hotel on their leads.Â

The reality star was later seen relaxing on the luxury bed with her pet pooches before enjoying a winter walk around the city. Â
She wrote over the video: ‘From the streets of Romania and being on deaths door at a Welsh puppy farm, to now living the life they desserve. #adoptdontstop’
Olivia captioned the post: ‘My little munchkins. Landed on their [paw emoji] these two x’.
Room rates at the Corinthia London hotel vary widely based on the season, room type, and specific dates of your stay, with prices generally starting from around £447 per night, however guests can expect to pay an average of around £781 per night.
Deluxe rooms cost around £465 to over £600 per night, while suites start from around £592 and can exceed £3,500 for the larger penthouses.
Olivia’s fans took to the comments of the post to say they love her dogs and that she inspired them to adopt themselves. Â
Olivia hasn’t been the only star to promote adopting dogs this festive season as Vicky Pattison criticised ‘disappointing and irresponsible’ Kim and Khloe for gifting their children ‘designer dogs’ for Christmas.Â
Vicky called the Kardashian sisters out for ‘ignoring the homeless animal crisis’ as they showed off their new pets to their respectable 654million Instagram followers.Â
The Strictly star like Olivia is a big advocator for rescue dogs after adopting her two beloved Labradors, Milo and Max in 2021 and 2022.
Vicky stressed that ‘dogs aren’t gifts’ and asked people to ‘carefully’ consider adoption instead or to donate to shelters as they are in desperate need for support.Â
The former Geordie Shore star later shared a second post on her Instagram Stories adding that not all rescue dogs have behavioural issues or traumas.Â

 Following the Kardashian sisters gifting puppies to their children, Ingrid Newkirk, the founder of PETA, issued a statement decrying Kim’s present and standing by those who ‘rightly slammed’ the star.Â
Newkirk also called out Khloe for failing to adopt a dog from a local shelter.
‘Puppies are not plushies, and it’s a damn shame that Kim missed the chance to be a spokesperson for shelter pups and instead is being rightly slammed on social media for that,’ Newkirk said in a statement obtained by the Daily Mail.
‘Ignoring the homeless animals crisis is inexcusably callous, and so we ask Kim and Khloe, who did the same thing, to call PETA or a local shelter the next time they want to bring an animal into their home—and try to make some amends now by sending their kids to volunteer at a local shelter or paying for a local shelter adopt-a-thon or at least one spay day to help stop the growing homeless puppy crisis.’
Kim faced the wrath of netizens after she announced each one of her children had received a puppy on Christmas.
In one snap, which showed all four of the dogs cuddled up together on her cozy couch, she wrote, ‘Each kid got a puppy.’
Kim has four children, daughters North West, 12, and Chicago, seven, and sons Saint, ten, and Psalm, six, with her ex-husband Kanye West.
Some fans took to Reddit to criticize her decision.
‘Puppies are not Christmas gifts for kids,’ one Reddit user wrote.
Another agreed, ‘Animals and pets are not gifts unless someone has really wanted that pet and will truly look after it. This is f**ked up.’
The reality TV star (seen recently) also has dogs Sushi and Sake, whom she adopted with her sister Kourtney Kardashian in mid 2017

‘If they each got a puppy then it’s not special at all. How will they learn to love one pet as siblings when they each get a personal dog like it’s a Tamagotchi?’ someone else typed.
One user commented: ‘They don’t realize what a big responsibility having a pet is, they just have it for show and cause it’s small and cute and it’s something kids want but when the pup grows up they no longer care for it. Absolutely ridiculous.’
‘This is honestly so sad,’ another person chimed in.
Someone else seconded, ‘This is wrong on every level in every conceivable way.’
The four new additions to the family aren’t the only Pomeranians that Kim owns.
She also has dogs Sushi and Sake, whom she adopted with her sister Kourtney Kardashian in mid-2017.
In 2022, she came under fire after she appeared to show the dogs living in her garage.
At the time, North, who shares a TikTok account with her mother, posted a video on the social media app that showed the pets walking around the garage in tiny coats.
The dogs appeared to be in a large pen with pee pads inside.
The video, which seemed to be showing off the pups’ festive setup, included a mini Christmas tree and stockings.
But it was met with fierce backlash as many fans called out the SKIMS founder for not providing her dogs with a better living arrangement.
Kim’s brood wasn’t the only one receiving a new furry friend – Khloe also welcomed a Labrador dog named Peppermint into her family for Christmas.

Her reality star sister Khloe, 41, also got a new Labrador puppy for her family during the holiday season – a pooch she obtained from a breeder.

‘I am going to cry she’s the best in the world,’ she gushed.
She also tagged Big Creek Labradors, a Labrador retriever breeder based in Indiana.
Khloe’s daughter True, seven, and Tatum, three, had been asking for a puppy for Christmas, but there’s an even deeper meaning behind the canine.
The Good American founder previously owned a black lab named Gabbana, who died in 2018 at the age of fourteen.
Khloe penned an emotional tribute to Gabbana after his passing, calling the pooch her ‘first child’.
‘Last night my sweet Gabbana passed away. She was more than a pet. She was my first child, my companion and my friend…’ she wrote at the time.
‘I never thought I would be this devastated over loosing [sic] a dog but 14 years, is a long time together. She filled a significant role in my life and I’m forever grateful. I love you Goober!! I’ll remember you always!’
Meanwhile, Peppermint is now adjusting to his new family, with Khloe posting videos of True and Tatum getting to know the dog.
One of the family’s Russian Blue cats is also acclimating to her new fur sibling – one photo showed the feline curiously watching Peppermint resting from atop her chair.
