When it was demolished I panicked. Smearing the last dregs of butter cream on the dogs face, wiping round my own mouth and putting the empty plate on the floor, I waited for my husband’s return. Sorry, dog.

Poor little dog, it looks like its eaten too much cake and has tummy ache!

The dog would wind up being the scapegoat for just about every misdeed in your house, i suspect. Especially when one of you would have to walk him on each dark, windy, rainy and bitter winter's night. Every night …
