The real deal: Andy Murray (left) and Laura Robson (right)
won silver medals in the mixed doubles
Sears tweeted on the dog's account named
@maggiemay_hem: 'Here we go folks... Just checking to make sure Rusty definitely
has the silver, obviously. It was accompanied with the above picture,
where Maggie May appears to be looking longingly at the silver medal - despite
possessing the gold herself.
Rusty looks proud to have the silver medal
draped around his neck, as the gold medal-winning border terrier looks
on. Sears, a true animal lover, paints all sorts
of creatures as a hobby, and has her own website where she showcases her work
and links to Maggie May's Twitter feed. Maggie May - or Sears - is a prolific and
witty tweeter, the dog once quipped: 'Kate Middleton's dog is stealing column
inches. 'This has not gone unnoticed, and I'll step
out without underwear tomorrow to compensate.'
Maggie May tweeted the photograph of the dogs donning the
medals
Kim Sears set up a Twitter account for the couple's dog

Murray took Federer to pieces on the same
court where he lost the Wimbledon final
just 28 days earlier. With barely a moment's rest-bite, the Olympic
champion was back out on court with doubles partner Robson. Unfortunately for Sears, Maggie May, and
Rusty, he could not win another gold, as the Belarusian pair of Victoria
Azarenka and Max Mirnyi in three sets.
Magnanimous in defeat: Murray and Robson only just missed
out on a gold medal in the mixed doubles
Sealed with a kiss: Murray and Sears celebrated after his
victory in the Olympics final
Signature: Murray did his trademark salute to the skies
after his win
