For some while now, a group of Dogs has been meeting every evening, under the old oak tree, to talk about the issues that concern them. Food, not surprisingly, is a major topic. So, too, are cats. (Please note the small 'c'). But their discussions go much further than this. Subjects as wide-ranging as Evolution, Advertising, Sticks, Training - and many more - receive their unique insight. These then, are the dialogues of Whitman, Anton, Butch, Malcolm, Pippa and Obi. It has been my privilege to write them down.
