The dog - or other animal - does not have to be cute for me to feel affection for it. I enjoy giving them a pat or a scratch if they enjoy it, a few kind words and maybe a couple of treats if I have something suitable at hand.

At present, I enjoy providing a watering hole and part-time food supplier to the neighbourhood birds. And it seems the number and size of those birds are steadily increasing. Some of them seem to be getting quite plump.

There's no interaction between us, but I enjoy watching them having a feed from the kitchen window.

No, I guess I really don't either. But I also know that a West Highland Terrier who's grooming schedule is a little off can 100% rob me of my resolve.

We all have our weaknesses, mate. There are a few specific breeds of dog, both large and small, that I am especially partial to.

Just the other day, there was a barking dog visiting my neighbour on the left. In irritation, I opened the back door to see what was going on - and came face-to-face with an absolutely gorgeous Red Setter. My resolve to be cranky vanished immediately.

At one point during my childhood,my parents and I lived next to a service station, which had a junk yard full of cars behind it. There were over a dozen dogs - each one a different species - living there and I was best friends with each one. But my absolute favourite was Tess the Red Setter. She was absolutely beautiful. And then one night, during a storm, she got out on to the highway and a truck came along...
