A medium sized dog which can reach 70lbs at its upper spectrum, the Dalmatian was bred in Yugoslavia to accompany and guard carriages.

It acquired its reputation as a firehouse dog in its earliest days, when firemen used wagons; the Dalamatian has a special affinity with horses. It is a protective, independently responsive animal not best suited for homes with small children. Like all high strung dogs, if it is not exercised sufficiently, it can become destructive and nasty. With their floppy ears, doe eyes, and Disney pedigree, it is hard to imagine a dog less intimidating than a Cocker Spaniel.

Unfortunately, this is an extremely sensitive breed, often bordering on outright neurotic. Socialization is integral for Cockers, but even the best training cannot overcome the genetic rage syndrome that they are known for. Spaniels with rage syndrome will lash out ferociously without any provocation.

Moments later, they return their normal, placid selves seemingly with no recollection of the attack. They were particularly effective in ratting games, being tossed into a hole swarming with rodents and dispatching dozens at a time. Today, it is far gentler than in the past, but it maintains some of its gladiator genes. If not properly trained by a dominant owner, the Bull Terrier can become bossy, and acts of aggression against other dogs and animals are part of its character.

They are also prone to certain conditions, including deafness and obsessive-compulsive disorders. Once among the rarest dogs on the planet, the pudgy, wrinkly Shar Pei has been a resident of China for over two thousand years.

There is no clear link between them, but it is likely that the Shar Pei and the Chow Chow have a common ancestor; both are extremely antiquated breeds and sport the distinctive purple tongue.

They both like to play on the lawn with a red ball I can't remember how they get the ball.

They're both warned never to go through the hedge. A grey dwarf like man is involved somehow. The red ball eventually gets thrown accidentally through a hole in the hedge, and the boy climbs after and is abducted by the grey man, who turns him to stone and puts him in his tower which is full of 99 other stone children.

The girl goes on a quest, visiting the sky queen and the ground king, who both ask her to do some kind of task before giving her something in return. She spends the night in the woods, having gathered firewood during the day, within a protective circle with a fire. The grey man tries to tempt her out.

This wonderful story was first published in the St. Nicholas magazine in We have both versions in stock and I would be happy to send you a jpg if you think this is the one. I can't remember what the book was called or who it was by but it was a children's book about to young girls under the age of five that end up walking to the park from their house without their mother knowing. I had it read to me in the early 90s. Though I have a feeling it might not have had text possibly just pictures.

The story is based around a young boy who comes into possession of a number of animals like tiger, camel, yak etc. Rather than keep them he embarks on a journey to return each of the animals to its country of origin. During the story he also describes some of the culture of the country.

Finally she has to run home because the monster in the woods chased her home, like her mother warned her about. I always loved and once memorized this book.
