What a contented Jack Russell

Jack is a long-legged Jack Russell that had come from a rescue home 2 years ago. The owner was a very tanned elderly man with no hair on the top of his head, just long grey hair all around the edges. He was retired and had taken on Jack as a companion in his retirement. Nobody wanted him as he was so nervous and had a tendency to bite. I had to be very careful when giving him his health check and vaccination. The owner told me he would give a warning growl - I just heard it through the stethoscope.

He handed me the vaccination certificate which contained many signatures of foreign vets. I asked if he travelled and he explained that he loves fishing and spends most of the year in France fishing for carp. He bought a camper van to sleep in and Jack spent his days with him. I felt a bit nosey asking about his life, but found it so interesting. What a happy life they both seemed to lead!
