Throwback Thursday – The Tale of Georgie Grub
Georgie was not exactly what you call clean...his mum had finally had enough and let him go.

Top Dogs fun to read but is full of wonderful facts and information that could be used for school projects. I was surprised at just how little I knew about dogs in history so I hope that the content is also full of surprises for you!
