Raine's passion for the future would be to become a famous model and be able to travel the world and make the world a better place.
K9 Magazine caught up with Raine to find out more about her dogs and work.
Tell us all about all the dogs you've loved in your life. (this is your chance to tell us everything about your dogs, past or present. Names, ages, breeds - we want to know everything!)
I have had Bouzer since I was 8 years old. He is a Labrador and he’s now 11 years old. I got him for Christmas and he means the world to me. He’s always there to talk to even if he can’t talk back.
He’s the most precious thing in my life and he's part of the family. I feel he always listens when your feeling down and comes and cuddles me which makes me feel so much better.
My brother owns 3 bulldogs. Nova, Hugo and Jeffy. Hugo is 2, Nova and Jeffy are 6 months old. They're brother and sister. I adore them.
They're so wappy and hyper that they brighten up my day every time I go around there. When we take them for walks, it’s such a laugh seeing them play and jump all over each other. It’s so nice to see.
You're obviously a huge dog lover. How long have dogs been a major part of your life and how would you explain the importance of dogs to someone who hadn't ever experienced the joy of a canine/human relationship in their life?
I have always loved dogs since I was a baby even though I didn’t have a dog from the baby. Every dog I saw, I would say, "aww doggy" and get excited.
When I turned 4, all I ever asked for was a dog and the answer was always, "we will see", from my Mum and Dad. When I turned 8, I had a little brother come along and my Christmas wish was for a puppy.
Mum and Dad finally gave in and I got Bouzer. I can not explain the excitement when we went to pick him up. I wish someone would have taken a picture because I was speechless!
Ever since I've had him my love for dogs and animals, in general, grew bigger and bigger.
I would explain the importance of my dog in a way I wouldn’t know what to do without him. He’s like my lifeline and I adore him. He’s part of the family and he’s just like a piece of furniture.
Even if we are always tripping over him because he decides to lie right behind us. The bond between me and my dog is inseparable and no one would ever be able to come in between.
He’s the most loyal dog ever and makes you feel safe and comfortable.
What are your favourite things to do with your dog(s)?
My favourite thing to do with my dog is go on walks. He loves to go on walks and gets so excited when you shout walkies to him. He runs straight to the cupboard where we keep his lead and he makes grunting noises to show his excitement.
I also love to play with him in the garden with his ball which he never brings back once I've thrown it. I have to chase him around to get it off him.
You have a really interesting career... What advice would you give to the many people who wanted to follow your path in career terms? What are the absolute best (and worst) things about your work?
My advice for people wanting to follow my footpaths in my career is never to give up and keep trying even if there are days when you feel like giving up. You will get there in the end.

Life throws different obstacles at you and you have to overcome them. Sometimes in rough patches. You have to overcome them. Once you have done that, you will come out stronger.
Here are our quick-fire questions, are you ready?
Which do you prefer and why?
Big dogs or little dogs?
I prefer bigger dogs because I find them calmer and laid back. They make me feel more at ease and more relaxed.
Calm, relaxed dogs or dogs who live at 100mph?
I prefer calm, relaxed dogs but sometimes love when my dog gets excited and has the zoomies. I’m quite a laid-back person so I would rather have a more laid-back dog who can relax with me.
Dogs who do as they're asked most of the time or dogs who do pretty much whatever they like whenever they like?
I prefer dogs that listen most of the time. My dog listens when we say walkies or dinner time, but as soon as we say, "Bouzer, shower", he pretends he can’t hear us.
I think dogs that listen are much easier to gain a bond with as they may seem interested in what you have to say to them.
Dogs who love to walk by your side or dogs who like to race off and cover ten thousand yards in 3 seconds?
I prefer dogs who walk by your side as it’s a more relaxing walk and you don’t feel on edge that they're going to run away from you.
Days off or days at work?
I do like being at work and communicating with people but I also like having a day off and relaxing or doing something with my dog and friends and family. I also like to do shopping.
The fastest route or the scenic route?
I like the scenic routes. I would rather take longer to get there than go on a fast route and be bored the whole time.
Nighttime or early morning?
I prefer nighttime as I love to sleep and I love the night skies when it’s dark, especially on a summer night. When it’s warm outside and you can see the sun setting and the stars coming out.
Describe the last time you laughed out loud because of something you saw a dog do.
The last time I laughed out loud was when my dog was sleeping and his legs were moving like he was running and he was making these strange snoring noises.
It made me and my Mum cry with laughter I think it was one of those where you had to be there in that moment.

Let us in on a secret that very few people know about you.
My secret is that not many people know I do modelling and I’m with an agency. I’m quite a private person so only close relatives and friends know. My goal is to be out in the open one day and be on TV, etc.
What is your current favourite…?
TV show?
My current favourite TV show is Eastenders. I love to watch this at night and find it really interesting.
Album?
My favourite album is BDE PTSD. I love his music.
Film?
My favourite film is Grease. It’s my favourite film and musical and I did this as my end-of-year-6 performance with the class.
Website?
My favourite website is most likely JD as I love trainers and clothes and spend most of my time looking through clothes and shoe websites.
Animal charity(s)?
My favourite charity is Battersea's Dog Home. We have given money to these since I was a child and love the thought of giving money to help dogs and animals that are less fortunate to have a caring owner.
If you had to choose just one, what product or service would you say has most changed your life do you think and why? (can be technology, beauty, food, pet-related, book -anything)
I think passing my driving test was one of the biggest things that changed my life as it has given me bigger opportunities in life and I’m able to get around without having to rely on other people or buses.
Finish the following sentence, "dogs are..."...
Dogs are human's best friends.
And finally, this is always a tough question and often requires some serious thought… If dogs had the ability to speak and you could ask your dog just one question and one question only, what would you ask them and what do you think that they'd say?
I would ask my dog if he’s happy with his life. I think he would respond with, "I'm very happy and loved and cared for.".
This is an opportunity to talk about any causes, projects, business ventures etc that are important to you and you'd like us to tell our readers about.
Being with Icons Talent Agency is very important to me as it made me believe in myself more when I thought I would never be able to do it. It has given me opportunities to apply for things that I’m interested in and overcomes some of my biggest fears.
Thanks, Raine!
