Description

Can I take Mouse for a walk I ask, and Im always allowed. We set off, very slowly. Mouse walks at a snails pace. He stops at lampposts and fences and sniffs for a long time. Sometimes he looks up at me and then I usually say something. I maybe say old man in a very nice voice, not my usual one... I wish Mouse was mine. This is a book for anyone who knows what it is to love an old, slow dog,with ears as thin as pancakes.
