Spenser - was that you?
One of OoN’s readers writes that the Sydney Morning Herald’s feature “Column 8″ tells of a rather radical driving technique that may be of some interest to fans of Spenser, the wonder dog, who, we regret, appears in these columns from time to time.
“Annabell Wood, of Turramurra, reports that her fiance, Shaun Lawlor (who had the advantage of an elevated position in a van) spotted a woman driving along the Pacific Highway near Pymble “while wearing nothing but a dog.” To be specific, the dog was an Australian silky terrier, and it was sitting comfortably on the driver’s lap. Both appeared to be relaxed.”
Annabell added that though all this happened on the morning of Valentine’s Day, one needn’t imply any special significance.
On the other hand, Spenser, when told of it, shrugged it off with a sigh, said chivalry was only one of his strain’s many attributes whatever the season.
