Philip Thomas has been a teacher most of his working life. Now retired and unimaginably bored, he has taken to writing stories. He lives in a village where there is a superabundance of nice dogs and, at his grand-daughter’s suggestion, he decided to write a book or two about some of the local dogs. This one is the second about these lovely dogs and has been well received by his honest critic-the same grand-daughter. She loves dogs and, with regard to the book, she said she could not put it down.
