Bob Is Just The Job

Bob came into my life six years ago as a lifesaver with an important mission; to help me get fit following 18 months of gruelling cancer treatment. Having researched different breeds of dog, my family and I decided a miniature schnauzer was the perfect candidate, as they were equally happy on long walks and snuggling up on the sofa, which sounded the ideal companion during my recuperation.

We looked around and found Bob, or rather he found us. Visiting him as a puppy, we noticed even then that he sat slightly to the side, absorbing everything and joining in only on his terms.

A character from the start, he bounded into our lives as a little bundle of fur, swinging on the hem of any piece of clothing he could get his teeth into.
