Thanks, He is a joy to have.
We looked all over to rescue a dog and found a lovely collie cross and I am still not sure why we didn't bring him home.
Although, I was planning a trip to the local pet shop the next morning to get guinea pig suplies and on my way out a notice board caught my eye and in particular a card with Labrador cross free to good home, my good lady tells me it was fate.
And the rest as they say is history.
