Narrated by Pancho

Hello.
It’s me.

I’m Pancho. I’m ten. I’m half golden retriever and half a lot of other breeds. Nobody knows which ones. Not even me.

I’m black and brown with some white bits and, these days, a distinguished amount of grey.

    0 km. One way. No regrets.

    Five years a street dog in Turkey. Then a human turned up, and one very long flight later I walked into a house with carpets, radiators and a fridge. I found the fridge first.

    The roof
    incident

    One day somebody left a window open. I am not a cat. I went anyway.

    What we know

    • A window was left open.
    • The dog climbed out of it, onto the extension roof.
    • The dog is ten. The dog is not a cat.
    • There was a witness. The witness is a cat.
    • The dog has shown no remorse.

    From up there I could see three gardens, two barbecues and a cat who said nothing. Best day of my life.

    My favourite walk is to the pub.

    It’s the only walk with a bar at the end of it. I put my paws up. I make eye contact. I wait. Somebody always cracks.
