“He remembered he’d nothing in the fridge for his sandwiches so, outside the village grocery shop, which called itself a delicatessen, he sat the two dogs down and gave the leads to Holly, then all of eight years old. The street was empty, he’d only be a minute. He went into the shop to find another customer, a cheery lady in her early thirties, dressed in a tracksuit, refusing the Caerphilly and the Lancashire because she especially wanted Wensleydale. As she turned and went out, a terrible thought crossed Joe’s mind.

With a ‘Back in two ticks’ to the shopkeeper, he was through the door — but too late. The woman, seeing the two little girls and the two huge and apparently beautifully behaved dogs sitting beside them, had gone across to chat and give the dogs a pat. Cass, his duty clear and seeing himself in charge of the situation, had pre-empted any potential harm to those in his care by nipping behind the woman and biting her quite hard in the bottom.”

“Watch him!’ screeched Joe, more urgently than Cass had ever heard before and, glory be, that dog turned on a sixpence, roared back to the bewildered and besodden thieves, slid to a halt in a shower of sand and gravel and bouncing on his paws, showed his charges once more what he would do to them if they tried anything.”
