 Ping Zero - bathtub tom
Best dog I ever had was a springer from a farming community. She was the the fourth surviving runt from a litter of six who's bitch's milk had dried up (two had died). Took her at four weeks old.

Took a lot of care initially. She was mainly liver and a small dog. Subsequently learned the local community didn't want her around as she'd be a 'poachers' dog.

She arrived between the birth of my two daughters. They all seemed to think they were equal sisters. I've a wonderful photo of them all sitting on the kitchen floor with glasses of milk and biscuits. The children would no more think of pinching her biscuit as she would of theirs. They were distraught in their teenage years when she died.

Took her back to her roots and she was tried out with a twelve bore, didn't flinch, but merely scanned the sky. She and her brother would run around the fields and if one raised a rabbit, it would bark to alert the other and they'd try to work together to catch it - never did.

I was offered large sums for her, I guess for nefarious reasons.

She spent a lot of her life 'parking' squirrels up trees in the local woods a couple of times a day - they'd never come down and play despite her plaintive barks. I could walk her through the local streets at heel without a lead, she was a doddle to train. We were, apparently, a local sight.

Never had a dog like her before or since and now, never will.
