One day here is much like any other although the newspapers tend to be a bit heavier on two of them.

Today, however, I looked after my neighbour's boisterous and energetic Vizsla which was a welcome change in routine.

I took it for a couple of walks before taking it home at about 4.30pm, the neighbour's son having returned from school.

Just after 6.00pm the doorbell rang and both neighbour and dog were there.

She'd taken it for a walk and on passing our drive the dog executed a swift left turn of its own accord and dragged the owner to our door.

I like to think it was a gesture of thanks!

Good guy status, dog verified.

How do we know it wasn't She dragging the dog to his door. Poor dogs get blamed for her amorous escapades.

Well, let's put it this way.

Today is Day 2 of canine care duty and when I went to collect the mighty hound a couple of hours ago I was dragged back to my own front door.

It's a funny old world.
