‘Thanks to all the nurses and staff at Royal North Shore Hospital for taking care of Billy and his hand,’ David wrote. 

‘He cut it on oysters and rocks on a walk. He is all better and was very brave.’ 

David and his wife Lisa have been married since 2008 and have three children, Leo, Betty and Billy.

It comes after David said that he felt ‘helpless’ when his dog became ill during Sydney’s latest lockdown.   

He wasn’t sure how he would get care for the dear pooch, who is called Scully. 

Luckily vets are taking drop-off patients, but he found it harrowing to leave the scared dog behind.

‘Due to Covid, vets had become a drop-off arrangement and I felt sick myself as I left our scared favourite child (yes, I said it) at the door and headed home to wait for a call,’ he wrote in a column for this week’s Stellar Magazine.   

David explained that the dog had developed a serious tummy upset that wasn’t improving. 

‘When the call came saying she’d need some more tests as ‘something was not quite right’, I bravely listened – then catastrophised about what it could be. The wait was agonising. Hour after hour passed and I felt helpless,’ the TV host wrote. 

Luckily, Scully’s condition was not serious, and she was taken home where she soon recovered.
