Trezza and I spent many happy, yet tortured, hours today judging an online dogshow for ace hound rescue and re-homing charity, Greyhound Gap.
You want them all to win and go a bit stir crazy by the end. This is how you wind up inventing a Category, because you are struck by a couple of animals who strongly remind you of certain humans. They are the Dogs Who Look Most Like Legendary Soap Characters:
Albert Tatlock: Half a pint of mild for Sprout when you’re ready, Betty Luv
Matilda: My Nick wouldn’t never be cought up in nuffink like that!


It’s Dot all right: the emaciated frame, the agonised blink, and the ratty fur collar’s just the final touch…
You are an absolute star for judging all those entries! Not a job I would have liked to have done!
Thank you!
