Now THAT is great a story! Pets are such amazing creatures and are family members. People today, especially younger people with more money than their parents or grandparents, really give their furry family members every luxury and attention. I live in Chicago and I’ve never seen so many dogs dressed in dog sized baseball jerseys, sweaters, bow ties etc. This isn’t just a winter thing when sweaters/coats might be needed for the cold. At Halloween, there are a couple of costume competitions for dogs! Some of these things may be more unique to the US. But clearly, the attachments and appreciation of our pets are shared by both countries. ❤️
Thanks so much! We have dogs too (2 rehomed guide dogs and 2 crazy golden retrievers). We do not normally dress up our dogs, though occasionally at Christmas they briefly put up with having antlers on their heads - before they quickly shake them off!
Wonderful story and accompanying illustration. Now I definitely have to get the book. Thank you, Richard. Still missing Lucky Ting who has not miraculously reappeared.
Thank you Katharine. We also have a missing cat story which I will post sometime - very sad. Thanks for thinking of getting The Savage Poodle. I am afraid it does not have the cartoons in it - just my words, so you may have second thoughts!

I loved reading this Richard, it made me smile. I love a good cat tale. Ivan sounded a wonderful character
Thank you Andrea. That’s very kind!

I've noticed you can't kill a bastard cat. They just live on and on : )
