"Whether you be dog or owner or beauty or beast, we all need to 'pull a face' at the passing of life from time to time if we are to preserve our sanity. A very dear friend of mine, the deceased author, Stan Barstow (who incidentally once lived in Haworth), once told me over a meal that life was too short to constantly observe the code of civility. 'There comes a time in all our lives, Bill when we just have to let blast and hang the consequences!' Perhaps that's why the owner of this pooch has opened the passenger window?"
