A favourite walk of ours is along the River Allander, heading from Milngavie to Dobbie’s Garden Centre and their cheese scones.

One day we met Stephen and his Dad with their Dalmation called Dupree, (a name made famous by the film “Dupree and Me”).

Stephen was racing Dupree, training for his school’s sports day.

My brother Brian has a Whippet called Bonnie.

As far as I know, Dupree and Bonnie have only met on the pages of this little tale.

Suitable for children of all ages.

(1600 words, 8 mins, good for a bedtime tale?)
