Meet Hardy!

I am, or was till today, dreadfully scared of dogs, since two attacks years ago whilst employed by Royal Mail.
But today I met a really large wire haired Germa pointer called Hardy, who was just fine with me, and he let me take this picture and made my phobia slightly easier to live with.
Hardy is owned by two friends of mine and they assured me that Hardy would be easy on me, so in I went, and it was easier than I thought it could be, so cheers hrdy you good dog, you did me a big favour today!
