The news that a single mother called Kate Pong had qiven birth to quins called Beyonce, Tyra, Bobbi, Barack and Earl just had to be a wind up, even though the paper's advertising deopartment insisted the entry was genuine.<br /><br />Now I discover that it is kosher. Kate Pong is a dog. A real one. She belongs to Fiona Wallace, who runs a show-jumping team in Shropshire.<br /><br />The two-and-a-half-year old chocolate labrador is quite a character in horsey circles and one of Fiona's friends paid for the announcement to let people around the country know she'd had pups.<br /><br />Apparently, there was no deliberate intention to mislead. Fiona explained: 'She didn't say they were human, she just didn't say they were dogs.'<br /><br />Still, I'm amazed it slipped under the radar. I wasn't aware The Times register ran to animals. Even in this celebrity-obsessed age, it's unlikely any reader of The Times would call their child Beyonce.
