OK, due to popular demand, below is another picture of our dog Cedric. Clearly I do love him, don’t I? I should stop deluding myself.
Whenever we take Cedric for a walk around our village, the other dogs in the place go nuts. Clearly, they can sense that Cedric is a wrong ‘un. Like the village idiot, in dog form.
One other dog, in particular, HATES Cedric. He’s called Alfie. Alfie’s normally quite mild-mannered. But, when Cedric’s about, he transforms into the world’s fiercest labradoodle.
Whenever Cedric hears his nemesis Alfie’s barking call, he’ll run up to the other dog’s home and bark back. Except Cedric’s bark is a whimpering, whining kind of a woof. He’s clearly terrified of the other animal, despite his doggie bravado.
On the right, below, is Alfie. At the merest glimpse of Cedric (on the left), the other dog goes all Jack Nicholson in The Shining.
‘Heeerrre’s Alfie!!!!!’
