PETER MUNDAY - Real husband of Cheshire

The bond between a man and his dog is ingrained in history – almost as long as the rest of the family have handed over the walks to dad

- PETER MUNDAY

While I am not the bravest individual, I have never had any fear of dogs.

I was once in a beer garden where people were cowering from an enormous Neapolitan mastiff (they used to fight lions in the Coliseum), with a bark so deep and loud that you’d expect Hagrid to be on the other end of the lead. Somehow it took a shine to me and after that, getting a dog at some stage was probably inevitable.
