Man is living in the dog house - literally

A man who slept in a tent for months after losing his home has upgraded - to a dog house. Luckless Jamie Curtis, 46, was forced out of rented accommodation last year after falling heavily into debt, and took to camping in a farmer's field. But after his tent disintegrated, he moved into a derelict wooden kennel, which he has since turned into a home - complete with a bed and a solar-heated shower. The artist moved into the 12ft by 15ft kennel three months ago, and quickly set about turning it into a home fit for a King Charles Spaniel.
