Unfortunately the call of the street was too much for Chico and he has gone back to his old life. He settled in well but after dinner he was fretting terribly, tearing down the fences, trying to push his way through a fence with a huge drop on the other side and the final point [...]

Back in April we left a bar and were greeted by a happy little dog, he looked like he belonged to someone but was rather on the skinny side. The next time I saw him, he had a very bad wound on his body, (rumour goes he had boiling water poured over him)! I rarely [...]
