Cocker Spaniel Rescued

In the last week I've felt drawn to looking at adopting a dog - and dog rescue websites. I've just been feeling like curling up on a sofa with a dog wrapped up in the warm. I just went to look again and this little four week old cocker spaniel as been rescued in Kent.

So what's my connection with this breed?

Sophia - my gran had a cocker spaniel.

That reminds me of the 'Clothes Pensioner Dream'.
