Vikki | 7 comments i know it's not much but, my mum read a book a few years ago about a drug addct who realised that if he didnt take care of a dog that came to him no one would, he stopped taking drugs because of the dog. i think the book might have had a staffordshire bull terrier as the dog and it might have been based on a true story in glasgow

Does he have a job? Married or single?

Does he definitely live in the U.K.?
