RAFFLES

Raffles , my dog, is really a dignified creature, he enjoys an enormous amount of street cred, he wanders around the streets of Rome and Fondi without a lead , he goes to the best restaurants in town and they let him in, because they know that his behaviour is impeccable , He visits friend's houses by himself maybe looking for me, and helps himself to a bit of food and then he politely departs . He waits outside the supermarket for hours on end having to put up with little old ladies fussing over him . He goes to the beach in the summer and sleeps under the umbrella and pops into the sea to cool down.
He has two girlfriends, Polly, who is nice to him and Toffee ,who treats him mean and keeps him keen ! I met him seven years ago outside some scruffy hotel hanging out for a bit of pizza, he was covered in car oil and fleas, he had short legs and a long body and he wasn't at all appealing and I needed some convincing to take him home , but thank goodness I did , I called him Raffles after the best hotel in the world and ended up with the best dog in the world ! He so impressed a friend of mine from America, that she sent him this pink coat to keep him warm in the winter!, Raffles would not be seen dead in this coat on the streets, it would ruin his reputation , but he did pose for the thank you photo with as much dignity that he could muster !
