WE’RE ALL BARKING

Following your story about Barkruns (RW, Jan): my last dog, Rover, came from an RSPCA foster home. Rover regarded group walks as a race and ran the other dogs off their paws. Luckily he was more tolerant of my slowness and would dab the back of my nearest leg with his tongue as he passed me, as if to keep in contact. William J. Houlder, Pontefract, W Yorks
