McLaren was a tiny puppy when my brother first met him.

Before long, McLaren had his first day at work – that is, as a companion dog in my brother’s office – and came to visit us in the evening.

He was playful, exploratory, and full of personality.

And very small.

Six weeks later, his ears are standing up, and he almost takes up the whole of the dog bed!

It looks as if he may turn out to be a dog who likes to watch tv.
