She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way,not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before.“We’re moving house.” “No space for her any more with the baby coming.”“We never really wanted her,but what could we have done?She was a present.”People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
