they used to be called "granny dogs" during the war, when the husband was off getting shot, the wife was in the factories they used to look after the children.
true fact!
Ha! Excellent didn't know this. I do remember George though my gran's staffy from when I was a little kid, he was always as good as gold with me and my little sister and by God we must have tested his patience! Soppy as you like but built like a little barrel.
Gran used to make him tea, he'd get really excited when she put the kettle on and she always gave him 2 sugars. The tea would be poured into his dog bowl!
My sister and I used to slip him bits of bacon under the table at breakfast time when no one was looking :)
