CAN YOU SHARE A FAVOURITE / FUNNY MEMORY OF YOUR DOG?

There are too many to pick from really, I suppose just recently whilst walking three dogs I suddenly found myself with only two.  One of them had taken it upon herself to walk home, cross two roads (one being a major route into Swansea) and stood at the front wagging her tail on my return.

Over a bank behind my house as it’s full of different smells and trails.
