Homage
to Pongo
I
will always remember this beautiful deaf dog who was my companion
for the better part of four years. His name of course was chosen
by my children, but be warned, anyone thinking of buying a dalmation
- these dogs can suffer from hereditary deafness, so choose carefully.
Having said that, however, Pongo learnt sign language and was
never far from my side. The only time was, to my ever lasting
regret, when he somehow managed to get out of the garden gate
and decided to go for an explore... He never made it back across
the main road. He died at home in my arms three days later.
