oh thanks Margaret I'll watch out for that one.

The other doggie book I bought at the car boot (must have been having a doggie day) was Endal by Allen and Sandra Parton - it says on the front 'How one extraordinary do brought a family back from the brink'.  I 've not read it yet but it's about a guy who returns from the Gulf war badly injured and how his family try to cope and are then helped by a labrador puppy.  A true story - it sounds good, but we will see.
