JK Rowling has adopted an greyhound from Celia’s Greyhound Rescue in Fife.

Celia Fernie’s initial impression was that the woman identifying herself as Mrs Murray was a “very nice lady” with a loving family – someone who would make a good home for one of her greyhounds.

It was only when [Celia Ferine] asked for a £30 donation to Greyhound Rescue Fife, which the 61-year-old runs with her husband, Jimmy, near Kirkcaldy, that she realised she had been dealing with the world’s most famous children’s author.

At the bottom of a cheque for £1000 was the signature millions of Harry Potter fans would die for. “When I looked at the cheque I couldn’t believe it. The first thing I noticed was the amount she had made it out for,” Mrs Fernie said yesterday.
