The Knife of Never Letting Go

How do you imagine Manchee?
Erika, you get ten points for being completely correct.
I always imagined him as a Parsons Jack Russel Terrier.
Rhine, that's kind of how I saw him, but I couldn't find a decent picture.
http://dogtime.com/dog-and-cat-photos...maybe this one's a bit small though...
erika's is great as well!
Not unlike Dug from the movie "Up." Which probably has nothing to do with how Manchee's described in the book and everything to do with the fact that Dug's thoughts are verbalized.
CLUCKINGBELL ME TOO!!!That was exactly what I thought.

I always pictured him as a cross between a Jack Russell and a Cairn Terrier...something small and extremely excitable!But, since seeing The Artist, I've been picturing little Uggie as Manchee. (Especially if there's a film version!)

I imagine Manchee as a bulldog.

But agree with Lyndsay something small and giddy especially since he's always being picked up!
I imagined him as a mix... but he was adorable regardless <3 He shouldn't have died. :'(

I pictured Manchee as Doug, the dog from 'UP'
maybe a greyhound or a golden retriever?
I imagined a greyhound
How do you post a picture?
I use the HTML link of photobucket, i don't know how to post pictures another way...

Anyone else notice that Doug from Up is a lot like Manchee and the Cassor (bird) was a lot like Kevin, the bird in Up. The way the cassor ate the cheese and hacked it back up. I think the book came before the movie though.
In this New World animals may appear however they appear..... so... Manchee is definitely bred in the Hound-type line..... and is pictured as a cross bassett/beagle.... much larger, and more flexible than the typical traits that we know.

Up was released a year after this was so maybe someone read this and got some inspiration from it.
And I just kept picturing Dug as Manchee as I listened to it.
At times I did picture a chunkier version of my dog who is a German Shepherd/Chow/Dachshund mix. Of course it was horrible listening to his death scene and I had to run home to hug my Emmy girl as hard as I could. But mostly I thought of Dug. It was hard not too.
i pictured him as a kind of beagle mixed with other stuff, about a small to medium size, and he looked exactly like my dog. I loved him so much, and I hugged my dog for like, and hour after I read the death scene, just to make sure he was still alive, that's how much Manchee was like my dog.

Share with us how do you picture Manchee!!

Yes this is pretty good ;) cute Manchee
I imagined him as a mongrel, scruffy and brown. Has anyone else ever read the Famous Five books by Enid Blyton? They were these kids' chapter books where 4 cousins and their dog would have awesome summer adventures full of smugglers and trapdoors. I imagined Manchee looking exactly like Timothy. http://www.enidblytonsociety.co.uk/au...

I imagined a dog with shorter legs. A bit like this (with a less fluffy tail):http://www.dogsblog.com/basil-8/

I think Erika has the best! that is so how I imagined Manchee! oh gosh I loved that dog, why did he have to die D:
I have no idea why but I always pictured him as a larger than average dachshund mix, pretty much just like this: 
RIP Manchee,I will never forget you,
As for how i imagined you, You kinda looked like Dug from the movie up or some sort of terrier, i never picture characters clearly in books but i have a kind of outline if you get what i'm saying.
Good boy Manchee,
What a ruddy good dog.
