Walking Ollie
One winter's afternoon Stephen Foster walked into a dog re-homing centre with the intention of picking up a retired greyhound. Instead, he acquired an abandoned Lurcher pup. Foster's knowledge of dogs was so vague that he had to look up 'lurcher' in the reference work 'The Giant Book of the Dog', to find out what sort of animal was coming to join the family. His research counted for little. The new arrival did not conform to any known breed standard or any known standard that might be considered dog-normal. A hilarious, heart rending account of one man's attempt to turn a psychotic wild animal into something resembling a domestic pet.
