Poppy the dog

Poppy is our big, daft dog. She is something like a cross between a boxer, labrador and Staffordshire bull terrier (so we’re told).

Mum found her after she was knocked over by a car in Buncrana. The Gardaì were going to take her to the vets, but my mum offered. Then the vet said he didn’t have room, could she take her home and give her some love!

Mum took her home and gave her some love (and food). Everyone tried to find who owned her, but couldn’t. She was called “puppy”, just in case we had to give her back. Now she’s called “Poppy” and belongs to us.

That was a year ago. This picture was taken on my second walk with her!
