Mum’s friend rang back after breakfast. A foster home had been found for Clunky in Cornwall, and to get him there would involve a relay of drivers. Mum was asked to do the first leg of the journey and take him to the M25, where the next driver would meet her. He would be at his new foster home in time for Christmas Day. From there he would have treatment for his eyes, and some training, before being advertised for adoption into a permanent home. ‘Happy Christmas, Clunky,’ I said, giving him a last cuddle. ‘Don’t worry, you’ll be all right, there’s a good home waiting for you.’

I waved goodbye as his milky eyes peered out of the back of Mum’s car, and I felt sad to see him go. We’d bonded during our night on the living room floor and although I was tired, I felt incredibly happy that he was going to have a fresh chance at life. It would be desperately sad to put a young dog like that to sleep, just because no one wanted him. Clunky deserved a loving family and a warm, safe home.
