This is the dog McUgly. It's a VERY flattering picture, but not as flattering as the one in the Oban Times which enticed me to drive for over two hours to the rescue kennels at Barcaldine to collect him. What a shock to find a fat brown thug prancing moronically around his pen, and Fiona saying 'we don't think he's house trained' and 'you'll never get him to Carradale without a dog guard'. Ha! How wrong we were. He is a delicious dog with bags of character and slimmed down he doesn't look quite so bad. So when this fearsome brown face peers at you through the bars of the gate when you arrive don't be scared - he just wants to get into bed with you.
