text: David Videcette's dog Herbert. See SWNS story SWOCherbert. An ex-detective turned crime writer who found his living room covered in cushion stuffing caught the culprit - his very guilty looking dog. Former Scotland Yard 7/7 counter-terror detective David Videcette finished a Zoom call when he found the 'crime scene'. His sofa cushions had been savaged and the contents scattered all over David's sitting room. But he laughed when he spotted the culprit - his nine-month-old dog Herbert surrounded by white fluff.
