Once his daily mission is accomplished, Ted never fails to returns home just before his mistress can discover him missing. Saint or sinner? After Ted’s long day out, he’s too tired to decide. Step into the secret world of a city dog’s life and know nothing is impossible in this short story.From the story; " It was not known to the regular visitors of the bookshop, where the little fox terrier lived, or to whom he belonged to, but for three hours every morning he kept the old man company and was called Horatio."
