Dear Friends,
I was sent this and I nearly fell off my chair!
Charlie looks quite convincing though, I think.
All the best from Fredrik

Dear doc,
I am sure you are right about that being worked up in Photoshop! But it is a funny idea!
Actually when I was young, Lady Waechter was Master of the North Ledbury Hunt, and the Kennels were only about two miles from home. We used to walk hound puppies every season [which simply means housing them after weaning for several months, preferably with a familly, children, and other types of dogs. Terriers and Sheep dogs in our case]. She used to have a special nick-name for me, which was completely affectionate and lasted all the time I knew her before she died in her eighties.
She always kept a pet fox, and somehow this creature certainly had a good life, even if he was there to waken the inherent instincts of the hound puppies! The grown up hounds ignored him for all that.
All the best from Fredrik
