Pepe on the other hand was quite a laid back character content to occupy himself with his own thoughts and not really get involved with the other dogs that much. He bore a striking resemblance to Basil Brush and I decided to give him the nick name Basil which suited him very well.
Sometime later I did a bit of dog walking for his owner and would call and collect Pepe and take him for an hour’s walk. He would always get very excited when I showed up and he would bark non-stop until we were on our way up the road. Every so often he would find an alluring smell and then he would bury his nose in the grass for ages totally ignoring my entreaties to carry on walking. Well I suppose he thought it was his outing really and not mine so who could blame him!
