This is the face of the newest soap star to hit the the screens in EastEnders.
Casper, a Lhasa Apso dog, was trained for his role by Bicester-based doggie talent-spotters Stunt Dogs.

Stunt Dogs also tracked down Albert Square's present star dog, Well'ard, owned by the BBC 1 soap's luckless teenager Robbie.
However, Well'ard's status as top dog will be challenged when Casper makes his debut.
Casper, who was bred in Aldridge, Staffordshire, will play the new dog on the block, Terrence.
Billy Mitchell will give Casper to his girlfriend Janine Butcher - who decides to call the dog after her friend and business partner Terry.
Stunt Dogs trainers searched the country for a dog to fit the part and Casper was chosen for his temperament.
He fended off strong competition from hundreds of other potential stars to win over the affections of the talent-spotters.
EastEnders bosses expect Terrence to be a long-term character in the soap.
Between shoots, he will live with his trainers in Oxfordshire.
