Mongrels, Dishlickers, and a Poodle: Sheba, Fiver, Nix, Bandit, Sooty, and Scooter

Everyone from five to ninety-five who has ever owned a dog must have wondered at times just how their pets think. What do they think about? What do they think about us, the humans? If only they could talk and tell us their thoughts! All dogs are individuals, just like humans, with different personalities to match. We can get some idea about how they feel, but it’s just guesswork. Barry and Pam have had many canine friends through their family life, and it’s these dogs that enlighten us about human behavior. Their first dogs were inseparable because they were a brother and sister called Shah and Sheba. Then came Fiver, who cost a fiver; followed by Nix, who cost nothing; Bandit, who had a long life; and during his time, Sooty arrived; and at the farm, they adopted Scooter who was in need of a home. This is their story.
