Buddy's Diary

I was listening to the British comedian Alan Davies telling a story about his Alsatian dog, and I noticed that he spoke of the dog as referring to him as Alan rather than Dad. This is something that becomes apparent about dog owners once you've been around them a while - some refer to themselves as their dog's mom or dad, others imagine the dog using their Christian name. I don't think there's anything wrong with either one, but I don't actually think that's how our dogs relate to us.

If you've enjoyed the Buddy's Diary, fiction features and articles on DogCast Radio, then do check out the Buddy's Diary book. It - obviously - contains several Buddy's Diary entries, and fiction and articles from the show, as well as some material you won't have heard before.
