The amazing adventures of Fox!






OK so now everyone tells me not pick up street dogs and adopt them! It's too late the deed is done.

"Eeek diseases, eek! Rabies! " etc etc.

I find an emaciated puppy with a fractured rear tibia, take him home, feed him tuna, and fall in love .

In a good will gesture am driven to Jerusalem by a burly British security specialist, who drives like the very devil.

Am refused rabies vax booster by Doctor in Israeli ministry of health, on account that I have adopted dog (now called Fox) and would just be re-exposed if Fox is infected so have to wait until I start frothing and then I have 72 hours, er but don't kill the dog, bring alive in secure basket!

So picture this scenario...

"Er hello Israeli soldier at check point, er yeah, it's a rabid dog and I am er taking it into 48"

Should I not be deported at this point for being a biological threat to the state of Israel, my next mission is to overcome Palestinian cultural aversion to dogs.

Shared taxi station post check point.

" Marhaba! er may I please put my dog in your vehicle? What's the matter with it?
Oh its' fine just a bit peaky, the froth, oh don't worry about that, its nothing, nothing!"

Only a further three Israeli check points to cross in shared taxi ferrying barking mad hound pardon the pun, whilst knowing all the while that I have hardly any time to get myself vaccinated before facing horrible death.

Mmmm interesting advice doctor.

Anyway Fox seems healthy and is gaining weight, as you can see!
