I was out walking Kaiser the other day, and as we turned a blind corner, about 15 yards away walking towards us was someone else walking a dog - a really rather little black one. Kaiser decided, in his worldly way, to take one look, turn tail and leggit, literally dragging me by the lead back to the house.

It's probably a good thing he ain't coming this year. Muppet creature. Not sure this other dog even saw him, he ran off that quick. Very unusual behaviour - he quite often meets a particularly vicious collie on his walks and bounds around trying to play with it, whilst being seriously snarled at.

This dog was a total stranger, and not even up to K's knee. I can just imagine him in the corner of our tent, cowering with his paws over his head, refusing to go out.
