One of the nicest treats that Kevin enjoyed in his last few months was a daily trip to the local baker’s where the owner had found some great recipes for dog biscuits and she baked them up in bone shapes – of course! It is a small shop and they have installed a big hook outside where the dogs can wait safely, plus a big bowl of water if they are thirsty. The owner comes out to every dog if she has time, gives them a biscuit and passes the time of day with them.

This is a great attraction for all local dog walkers and their pets: the trouble comes on Sunday and Monday when the shop is closed.  A number of clever dogs, Kev included, remember the location of the shop and they stop outside.  If it is closed they root themselves to the spot with an indignant look on their faces if the biscuits are not on offer!

A shop selling iphone accessories does not wuite have the same attraction for canines ….
