My family has always loved dogs, so I grew up with many dogs around me. My favourite dog's name was Pip. I was eight years old when my parents adopted him. He was a mongrel and he could be difficult sometimes, but we had a special connection. When I used to walk him, he would systematically bark when a stranger came near me. What a good dog!

I'll be right with you...
